The batter is made with fresh shredded apple and cinnamon and spices to give them a cozy fall flavor profile. They are perfect topped with rich maple syrup!
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, half of the oil (2 tablespoons), and eggs.
Step 3: Stir Pancake Batter Together
Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir it together with a silicone spatula until it is just combined. It will not be completely smooth but should be free of large clumps of the dry mixture. Set it aside for 5 minutes to allow the oats and flour to soak up some of the liquid. The batter will become thicker as it sits.
Step 4: Peel and Shred the Apple
While the batter is resting, peel the apples with a vegetable peeler. Shred them with a box grater, leaving the core behind. You will have about 2 cups of shredded apple.
Step 6: Preheat the Griddle and Oil It
For best results, it is best to preheat the griddle thoroughly. We suggest pre-heating it over low heat while you let the batter rest and shred the apple. Then just before cooking the batter, turn the heat up to high and brush it with some of the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
Step 7: Add Apple Pancake Batter To Griddle
Scoop up ¼ cup of batter with a measuring spoon and drop it onto the hot griddle. Spread the batter into rounds about 3 ½ inches wide. Make sure to space them out so they don’t run together.
Step 8: Flip the Pancakes
Flip the pancakes after they are nicely browned on the bottom, the edges are dry, and the bubbles are popped. Allow them to cook through for 2 to 3 minutes longer. Press down on the center of the pancakes to see if they are set up or still uncooked in the center. If they feel like uncooked liquid batter in the center, continue cooking for another minute or so.
