oatmeal-tofu pancakes

My friend Sanae posted this recipe in Japanese on her Instagram account, but I'm not sure of its origin. We enjoyed it, and below is the final form I used, with a few little Mamatouille tweaks.

You'll need:

• 240 g oatmeal
• pinch of salt
• 300 g soft (silken) tofu
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• cinnamon
• ginger
• 2 eggs
• 100 ml soy milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 apple, peeled and finely diced

Do this:

Add everything except the apple to a blender and blend till smooth. Stir in the apple and fry up on a griddle in a bit of grapeseed oil (or oil of your choice).

These were delicious with dabs of butter and warmed maple syrup.
