While oats typically can turn gummy in pancakes, mixing them with whole wheat flour keeps the batter light and adds a pleasant nutty flavor. Using lowfat milk cuts calories and allows the addition of melted butter for richness. The apple compote serves as a natural, sweet alternative to syrup, enhanced with unrefined sweeteners.

Ingredients
- 1 cups apple cider
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and chopped into -inch pieces
- cup whole wheat flour
- cup quick oats
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- teaspoon ground cinnamon
- teaspoon fine salt
- 1 cup lowfat (1%) milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
Instructions
- Pour apple cider into a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil; then reduce heat and simmer until the cider decreases by half, about 1518 minutes. Stir in honey and the chopped apples, lower heat further, and simmer until the mixture thickens and can coat the back of a spoon, roughly 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a blender, combine whole wheat flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, blending until oats are finely ground. Add milk, melted butter, and egg, blending until the mixture is smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly oil the skillet with a paper towel dipped in canola oil. Pour about 1 tablespoon of batter per pancake onto the skillet, spacing 4 to 5 pancakes evenly. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the undersides turn golden, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook another minute.
- Serve pancakes hot topped with the apple compote, or place on a serving dish covered loosely with foil to maintain warmth while cooking remaining pancakes. Wipe the skillet with an oiled paper towel as necessary between batches.
