Ingredients

2 cups oat flour (or 2 cups rolled oats) regular or gluten free
2 large eggs*
1 cup milk of choice we use whole milk
1 medium apple we use Fuji or Gala
1/2 Tbsp cinnamon I also add a pinch of nutmeg sometimes
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1-2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 Tbsp oil
¼ tsp sea salt

Instructions

If using rolled oats, In a food processor or high powered blender, process the oats until a flour consistency.
Transfer flour to a mixing bowl and whisk the baking powder and sea salt with it.
In a blender, add all other ingredients and blend until smooth and combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the oat flour mixture and whisk to combine. Do not over mix here! If the batter seems too thick, add more milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency, if it's too thin, add a tablespoon or two more of oat flour. Rest for about 5-10 minutes.
Heat griddle to medium heat. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake onto greased griddle.
Heat until bubbles form all around the edges of the pancakes and then flip.
Cook to desired golden brown.
Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

*2025 update: I added an extra egg after making this recipe a few times recently and found the fluffiness and texture of the pancakes to be much better.

Storage: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container or plastic bag in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. To freeze, allow them to cool completely and add to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.

You can grate or small dice extra apples and add them into the apple oatmeal pancake batter for even more apple flavor. Chopped pecans or nuts are great in these as well.
