👨🍳 Instructions
Simmer the diced apple with the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of water for 6-8 minutes until soft, then mash lightly into a chunky compote.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the rolled oats, salt and a pinch of cinnamon, then rest the batter for 5 minutes.
Melt the butter in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and pour in the batter, spreading it into an even round.
Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is set, spoon the compote over one half, then fold and cook 1 minute more.
Slide onto a plate, drizzle with the maple syrup and serve warm.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- ✕
Flipping or folding too early, before the eggs have set, which makes a scrambled mess.
- ✕
Skipping the rest time and cooking the raw oats into a crunchy, dry pancake.
- ✕
Letting the compote get watery, which sogs the omelette.
🔄 Variations
Swap the apple for sliced banana or pear.
Stir in crushed walnuts or pecans for crunch and healthy fats.
Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the batter for even more protein.
🧊 Storage
- 📦
Best eaten fresh straight from the pan.
- 📦
The compote keeps for up to 3 days in the fridge and reheats well.
💡 Chef Tips
Tip 1: Resting the batter is essential — it lets the oats soften so the omelette isn't gritty.
Tip 2: Cook low and slow so the inside sets through before the outside burns.
Tip 3: Use a naturally sweet apple variety like Fuji or Gala so you can skip extra syrup.
