Apple Oat Pancakes
Yield: 4 servings
Studded with bits of apple and oats, these Apple Oat Pancakes are a cozy, comforting breakfast that's hearty yet not heavy. Top with caramel buttermilk syrup for a super delicious breakfast any time!
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1¼ cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted, plus more for brushing the heated griddle
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup small diced apple peeled - I like to use Haralson, Honeycrisp, or Pazazz
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add buttermilk, eggs, butter, and vanilla, and fold to combine. Fold in the apple. Do not over mix - the batter should appear a bit lumpy. Let sit for 10 minutes to soften the oatmeal. The batter will be thick.
- Preheat an electric griddle to 300° F, or place a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Spread a 1/2 tablespoon of butter around the surface. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup as a scoop, add the batter to the griddle, quickly spreading the batter out into circles that are 3½" to 4" in diameter. Leave an inch or two of space between each pancake. When the pancakes have bubbles on the surface, about 3 to 4 minutes, flip them. Cook until they are lofty and golden, another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve with warm caramel buttermilk syrup or maple syrup
Notes
Be sure to make the caramel buttermilk syrup before you start making the pancakes, so it has time to settle and thicken.
