Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk alternative)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and finely grated (or diced for more texture)
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, for thinning batter)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter (or coconut oil).
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. Add the apple: Fold the grated apple into the batter. If the batter is too thick, you can add a little milk (1-2 tablespoons at a time) to reach your desired consistency.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Stack the pancakes and serve them warm with your favorite toppings—maple syrup, honey, fresh fruits, or a sprinkle of nuts for added crunch.

Enjoy these Oatmeal Apple Pancakes as a nutritious and delicious way to fuel your day!
