These delicious pancakes combine oats and white wheat flour for 100% wholesome goodness. They cook well, but somehow keep a nice texture inside. A small amount of shredded apple goes into the batter for flavor, but most of the apple is cooked for a sweet, fruity texture.
We serve these pancakes with ¼ cup plain 0% Greek yogurt as an added bonus to get this breakfast up to 19 grams of protein. Which should help keep you full for hours. These pancakes are so delicious that they don’t need syrup if you want to start your day with the right food.
