Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup apple, peeled and diced (about 1 medium apple)
• 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
• Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

1. Soak the Oats: In a bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let them soak for about 15-20 minutes to soften.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the vanilla extract. Add the soaked oats and milk mixture, followed by the diced apples.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
5. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a little butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and extra apple slices if desired.
