Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup oats, uncooked (you can use the quick-cooking oats or the rolled oats in this recipe)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk (can use regular milk)
- 1 cup apple or about 1 large apple, peeled and grated
- 1/2 cup nuts of your choice Optional (I used walnuts)
- 1/2 cup raisins Optional
- Butter or oil for cooking
Apple Syrup
- 1 1/4 cups 100% pure apple juice or could use apple cider
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients and cook on griddle or in skillet until brown. I use about 1/4 cup batter to a pancake. You can add more milk if you want your batter thinner. This batter is thick.
Apple Syrup
- Put ingredients in a small pot on stove. Bring to boil and use a wire whisk to stir. Cover and cook on medium for about 15 minutes stirring often. Remove and pour into small syrup pitcher.
