Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2/3 Cup Quick Cooking Rolled Oats
- 1 1/4 Cup Buttermilk
- 2 Large Eggs, separated
- 3/4 Cup Flour
- 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Large Apple, peeled and grated
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, unsalted, melted
- 1/4 Cup Pecans (optional), chopped
Preparation:
In a large bowl, mix together the oats and buttermilk. Let stand for 10 minutes. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together the egg yolks, brown sugar, and melted butter. Add this to the oats and buttermilk. Stir in the grated apple. Slowly add in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Stir in the pecans.
Whip the egg whites until soft peaks are formed. Fold the egg whites into the pancake batter. Heat up a large fry pan or griddle over medium high heat. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the pan. Ladle the pancake batter into the hot oil. Cook each side until browned (about 3 minutes).
Serve with warm maple syrup.
