Apple Peanut Butter Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 3/4 c oat flour or rolled oats, finely ground
  • 1/2 c whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt (omit if using salted peanut butter)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 c nondairy milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 2 T unsalted, natural peanut butter (Either smooth or crunchy is fine; I prefer crunchy.)
  • 2 T pure maple syrup, agave nectar, or molasses (I prefer maple here.)
  • 1 medium slightly tart apple, such as Jonagold

Directions

  1. Core and thinly slice the apple. If desired, save a few apple slices and proceed to dice the rest, setting all of the apple aside while you prepare the batter; for completely hassle-free pancakes, just dice the entire apple.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. To prepare the batter, combine the oat flour or ground oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the nondairy milk, vanilla and almond extracts, peanut butter, and maple syrup.
  4. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. If it seems too thick (more so than a typical pancake batter), slowly incorporate more nondairy milk until you achieve the desired consistency.
  5. Fold in the diced apple, reserving the apple slices for later (if using).
  6. When the skillet is hot, spray it lightly with oil.
  7. Drop the batter in scant quarter-cup amounts onto the hot skillet.
  8. If you opted to reserve some apple slices, arrange a few atop each of the pancakes.
  9. When bubbles appear on the tops of the pancakes and the bottoms are golden brown–this normally takes a couple of minutes or so–flip the pancakes and continue to cook them until the other side is golden brown.
  10. Remove to a plate and serve warm with Peanut Butter-Maple Syrup.
