For the pancakes:

• 3/4 cup wholemeal flour
• 3/4 cup of oatmeal
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
• 1 cup of milk with 11% fat content
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon oil

Preparation instructions

1. Preparation of apple and honey compote:

1. In a small saucepan, heat the apple juice to a boil over high heat.
2. Reduce heat and simmer until juice is reduced by half (about 15 to 18 minutes).
3. Add the honey and apples, then reduce the heat even further.
4. Simmer until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 30 minutes.

2. Preparation of the batter for the pancakes:

1. In a blender, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until the oats are finely ground.
2. Add the milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

3. Baking the pancakes:

1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
2. Using a paper towel, apply a thin layer of oil to the pan.
3. Pour 1 tablespoon of the batter for each pancake, spreading them evenly.
4. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the underside is golden brown (about 2 minutes).
5. Flip and bake for another minute.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining dough, periodically wiping the pan with a greased napkin.

4. Serving and enjoying:

• Serve the pancakes warm and topped with apple compote and honey.
• Enjoy immediately, or cover with foil to keep warm.
