I nabbed this recipe from CalorieKing – We’ve got these on our menu list to try this week. They sound pretty good – and we’re apple lovers around these parts, so that’s perfect!

Apple Oatmeal Pancakes
Serves: 5 person(s)
Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 5 mins
Yield: 5 x servings (two 4-inch pancakes per serving)

Suggestions:
If desired, add a tablespoon of maple syrup, for a little sweetness (optional). It will be a little thick; spread it with a spoon.

3 small apples
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 cup water
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract, or to taste (optional)

Peel, then chop apples. Add about a teaspoon of water. Put in small pan and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until soft. Mash apples with the back of a spoon or potato masher, leaving some chunky apple pieces.

In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients together. Add water and mashed apples. Stir until combined.

Drop about 1/4 cup mixture onto a heated skillet that has been lightly sprayed with oil.

Makes about a 4-inch sized pancake.

(NOTE: Pancakes can be made with bananas by replacing the 3 apples with 1 ripe banana.)
