Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour (or your favorite gluten-free cup for cup flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups seltzer or soda water
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 small apple, grated (about 1 cup)
For apple topping:
- 1 tsp coconut oil or neutral flavored oil
- 1 small apple, diced
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp water (or as needed)
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or griddle to 325° F or medium low heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or cooking spray, if necessary.
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add egg, soda or milk, and vanilla to dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Gently stir in grated apple.
- Pour 1/4 c batter for each pancake onto preheated skillet or griddle. Cook until bubbles form in the top and the bottom is slightly browned. Flip and continue to cook until done.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- To make apple topping, heat coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add remaining ingredients and cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft, about 10 minutes. Add more water if needed to keep the apples from sticking.
- Serve pancakes with apple topping and/or maple syrup.
