STORY TIME
If you are following my recipes for a while, you know how much I enjoy eating all things healthy and loaded with different kinds of vegetables. When I bought Appe Pan from Amazon, I wanted to make appe using oats and a lot of different veggies. I never had appe but just heard about it or read about it in some blogs. I wanted to create something using oats because I love oats as an ingredient and want to include in my regular diet. But Jatin doesn’t like it. He can’t eat oats porridge so I had to think of different recipes to include oats in our diet. That’s when I thought of making Oats Appe. And guess what, it was a hit in the first try itself. Yay.
It is perfect for those who don’t like oats at all. Because in this recipe, you can’t actually tell if it has oats or some other ingredient. I even add a lot of different veggies in it to make it even more nutritious. Moreover, since they are made of oats and not with lentils or rice, it is quice quick and easy to make. No need to soaking or grinding.

WHAT IS APPE PAN?
Appe Pan is known differently in different parts of the world and it is used to make so many different kinds of things. It is also known as Appam pan, Paniyaram pan, Appampatra pan, Paddu, Unniappam, Aebleskiver Pan, Takoyaki Pan, Puff Pancake Pan, Paniyarakal pan, Stuffed Mini Pancake pan.
It is a pan with deep holes or circular moulds in it. You make a batter of your choice and fill those holes with it. Cover and let them cook. Once done, flip and cook from the other side too. You get nice, tennis ball-shaped cakes from it that taste very delicious.

WHAT IS APPE?
Appe or Paniyaram is an Indian dish made of a thick consistency batter of lentils and rice. Instant appe is usually made of sooji or oats or sometimes with whole wheat flour or millets flour too. The consistency of the batter is same as that of the dosa or idli. The batter is poured in the moulds of the pan and let it cook till golden brown from one side. then it is flipped and cooked from the other side too. They are slightly crispy from the outside and soft from the inside. They just melt it the mouth and guess what, I am drooling just by writing about it 😀
They taste so amazing with some coconut chutney or tomato onion chutney. They make a delicious, nutritious and fulfilling breakfast. You can add sifferent kinds of vegetables like onion, carrot, green beans or spinach and make them more exciting, colourful and healthy. It takes a little time to make if you want to feed the entire family since you can make a maximum of 12 pieces and they are gone in minutes. So, plan ahead if you want to make for the entire family.
BENEFITS OF OATS
Oats and their constituents possess varied drug-like activities like lowering of blood cholesterol and blood sugar, boosting our immune system, anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, useful in controlling childhood asthma, bodyweight & BMI and improves the liver function, etc.
Oats come in various different forms – steel-cut, rolled, instant, flour, whole grain etc. You can use it in any form but every form works differently in our body despite the fact that each kind is the same ingredient – Oats. In my opinion, the least processed ones are the best for our bodies.
