  • 10 mins
  • 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup homemade applesauce or store-bought
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 T butter, melted, plus more for cooking
  • 2 tsp honey
  • Warm maple syrup and fresh fruit, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, applesauce, eggs, melted butter, and honey. Mix thoroughly with a fork until just combined, but do not overmix.

2. Heat a griddle to 350 F or a saute pan over medium heat. Swirl enough butter around the griddle or pan to coat it well. Spoon out between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of batter per pancake (depending on how big you like them!). When the pancakes have begun browning on the bottom and bubbling on the top, 2 to 3 minutes, flip and cook the other side for several more minutes. Transfer them to a plate and repeat to make the rest of the pancakes.

3. Serve with warm maple syrup and a side of fresh fruit.
