Fluffy Buttermilk Apple Pancakes are a delicious weekend treat. Made with fresh apples and a hint of cinnamon. They are a great breakfast any time of the year.
Makes about 12-15 pancakes depending on their size
1tablespoonBrown sugar(or more if sweeter pancakes are desired)
1/3cupQuick oats
1/2teaspoonCinnamon
Pinch of salt
1/2teaspoonBaking soda
1teaspoonBaking powder
1 1/3cupAll purpose flour
1-2Apples(I used 1 1/2)
Oil for pan frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and brown sugar.
Add quick oats, cinnamon, salt and mix.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until flour disappears. Mixture will still be lumpy. Do not overmix!
Dice the apple into 1/4-inch pieces and add to the batter. NOTE: You can also grate the apple, but the texture of the pancakes and flavour will be a bit different. Also, if apples are grated, they'd need to be squeezed and flour would need to be adjusted. I prefer diced apples. I like the contrast between the texture of soft pancake and cooked but still crispy apples.
Heat a large pan over a medium heat, brush with oil and drop big spoonfuls of batter.
Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the pancakes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes or until cooked through.
I usually keep cooked pancakes in 200F oven while I make them in batche
