Categories     main-dish

Time 12m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup low-fat buttermilk
3/4 cup nonfat milk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon honey
6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 medium apple, diced
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole-wheat four
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250. Put the apple in a microwave-safe bowl and tightly cover with plastic wrap; microwave on high until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, nonfat milk, eggs and honey, then slowly add the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Spoon 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake and sprinkle each with apple, then drizzle a little more batter over the apple. Cook until the tops are bubbly and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 more minutes. Keep the pancakes warm on a baking sheet in the oven while making the rest.
  • Place 2 pancakes on each plate. Drizzle with the syrup.
