Oat And Apple Pancakes With Yogurt Food

APPLE OATMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients except for the grated apple in your blender. Blend until the batter is completely smooth (as in, you shouldn't see any remaining bits of oats or hear oats hitting the blades), pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary. Stir in the grated apple but do NOT blend again.
• Heat a heavy cast iron skillet/non-stick pan over medium-low heat, or heat an electric griddle to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly oil the surface of your pan with coconut oil, butter or cooking spray. If you're using a non-stick electric griddle like mine, you might not need any oil at all.
• Once the surface of the pan is hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on it, pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the pan. This batter is thick, but your pancakes won't cook through if they're thicker than 1/2-inch, so you might need to help spread the batter out with a spatula. Let the pancake cook for about 3 minutes, until bubbles are popping up and the edges are more matte than shiny. (Be patient, these pancakes need to cook a little lower and slower than most.)
• Once the underside is lightly golden, flip it with a spatula and cook for another 90 seconds or so, until golden brown on both sides. You may need to adjust the heat up or down at this point to avoid burning the outsides before the insides are cooked. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
• Serve the pancakes immediately or keep warm in a 200 degree Fahrenheit oven.

OAT AND APPLE PANCAKES WITH YOGURT

Steps:

• Whisk flour, oats, pecans, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg, buttermilk, 2 Tbsp. maple syrup, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl; mix into dry ingredients.
• Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium; brush with oil. Place 2 apple slices in skillet, spacing about 1/2" apart, and cook until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Turn over and pour 1/3 cup batter over apples, spreading batter to cover. Cook pancake until bottom is golden brown and bubbles form on the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through and other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining apple slices and batter, brushing griddle with more oil as needed.
• Serve pancakes with yogurt and more maple syrup.
