Healthy Apple Fritters
Video
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 apples
- 60 g ground oats*
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Coating
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Slice the apples sideways into rings (as shown in the video). Use a knife or a tool to remove the core — a piping nozzle works perfectly!
- In a bowl, mix together the oats, cinnamon, eggs, and maple syrup to form a batter.
- Dip each apple slice into the batter until fully coated.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in a pan. Cook the fritters on both sides until golden brown.
- For an extra treat, toss the warm fritters in a mix of sugar and cinnamon before serving.
Notes
- * To make ground oats, simply blend rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a fine, flour-like texture. I love to make a big batch and store it in an airtight jar — it saves time and money, and you’ll always have it ready for my other recipes!
- Use firm apples (like Gala, Braeburn, or Pink Lady) for the best texture — they hold their shape when cooking.
- Make them gluten-free by using certified GF oats.
- For a lighter version, skip the sugar coating and just dust with a little cinnamon.
- Best enjoyed warm straight from the pan, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in a dry pan to crisp them up again.
- Swap the maple syrup for honey or agave if that’s what you have on hand.
- Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the batter for a cozy autumn twist
