Podlaskie Oat Pancakes are a variation on classic fluffy pancakes, where traditional wheat flour is partially replaced with ground oats, adding fiber and nutritional value.

Preparation steps
Apple puree
Transfer the chopped apples to a small heavy-bottomed pot. Add water and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Cover the pot with a lid and cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes. Stir every few minutes to prevent the apples from burning. Cook until the apples are very soft and start to break down.
Remove the pot from the heat. If you want a perfectly smooth puree, use an immersion blender and blend the apples directly in the pot. If you prefer a chunky applesauce, simply mash the apples vigorously with a fork or a potato masher. Set the finished applesauce aside to cool.
Pancake batter
In a high-powered blender or coffee grinder, place the oats. Blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds until you achieve a flour-like consistency. There may be small pieces of oats left, which will add an interesting texture to the pancakes.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add the prepared oat flour, whole wheat flour, erythritol, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything thoroughly with a whisk to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a second, smaller bowl, prepare the wet ingredients. Crack the egg and lightly beat it with a fork. Add the natural yogurt and milk. Mix everything with a whisk until you achieve a smooth, liquid mixture.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything with a whisk or spoon just until the ingredients are combined. Do not mix for too long! There may be small lumps in the batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so it can relax. During this time, the oat flour will absorb the moisture and the batter will thicken.
Frying the pancakes
In a large non-stick skillet, heat about one tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. To check if the fat is ready, drop a small drop of batter onto it - if it starts to sizzle, the temperature is right.
Using a large spoon or a small ladle, scoop portions of the batter onto the heated pan, forming round pancakes with a diameter of about 8-10 cm. Leave space between them, as they will puff up slightly. Fry on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
The pancake is ready to be flipped when bubbles appear on its surface, and the edges start to set and lightly brown. Flip it to the other side and fry for another 2 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked inside. Remove the finished pancakes from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess fat. Repeat the process until all the batter is used, adding more oil to the pan if necessary.
Serving
Serve the pancakes immediately while they are warm. Arrange a stack of 3-4 pancakes on a plate. Top with a generous portion of warm or cold apple sauce. Optionally, to enhance the flavor and texture, sprinkle with chopped walnuts and fresh blueberries. You can also drizzle with a little maple syrup.
Fun Fact
Racuchy, known in Poland for centuries, were traditionally made with wheat flour and yeast, and their name likely comes from the Old Polish word 'raczyć się'. The oat version is a modern nod to this tradition, fitting into the trend of healthy eating.

Tips
To make the dish look like it came from the best café, stack the pancakes high. Place the apple sauce on top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. Scatter the nuts and blueberries artistically around and on top of the stack. You can lightly dust the whole thing with cinnamon or garnish it with a sprig of fresh mint.
Unused pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It's best to reheat them in a dry skillet over low heat or for a few seconds in the microwave. Apple sauce can be stored in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
