Yield
4 servings

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour

3/4 cup old-fashioned oats

1/4 cup finely chopped pecans or almonds

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 large egg

1 3/4 cups buttermilk

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, plus more for serving

2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil, melted, slightly cooled, plus more for skillet

1 medium apple (such as Granny Smith or Pink Lady), peeled, cored, sliced crosswise ¼ inch thick

Plain yogurt (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1
Whisk flour, oats, pecans, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg, buttermilk, 2 Tbsp. maple syrup, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl; mix into dry ingredients.
Step 2
Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium; brush with oil. Place 2 apple slices in skillet, spacing about 1/2" apart, and cook until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Turn over and pour 1/3 cup batter over apples, spreading batter to cover. Cook pancake until bottom is golden brown and bubbles form on the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through and other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining apple slices and batter, brushing griddle with more oil as needed.
Step 3
