Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.25 cup old-fashioned rolled oats pulse into a fine flour
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp baking soda
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.125 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1.25 cup milk dairy or unsweetened non-dairy
  • 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted, plus more for the pan
  • 1.25 cup grated apple peeled and cored
  • 1 tsp lemon juice to toss with the apple

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Blend the oats in a food processor until they resemble fine flour.
  • Whisk oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk milk, yogurt, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
  • Toss the grated apple with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the apple. Let the batter rest 5 minutes to hydrate.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter the surface.
  • Scoop 1/4-cup portions of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more.
  • Hold pancakes warm and repeat with remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup and extra apple if desired.

Notes

Variation: Stir in 1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans for crunch, or swap the yogurt for 1/4 cup applesauce for extra apple flavor. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months; reheat in a toaster or 325°F oven until warm.
