Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 cups whole buttermilk
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and finely chopped

Directions

Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk eggs and buttermilk together in a medium bowl. Microwave 3 tablespoons butter in a small microwaveable bowl on High until melted, about 30 seconds. Gradually stir the buttermilk mixture, melted butter and apple into the flour mixture until just combined (the batter will be lumpy). Let stand for 5 minutes.
Grease a griddle or large nonstick skillet with 1/2 tablespoon butter and place over medium heat. When the griddle (or skillet) is hot, form pancakes with 1/4 cup batter each. Gently smooth each pancake into a 4-inch round using a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Cook until the tops are covered with bubbles and edges look dry, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Wipe the griddle (or skillet) clean between batches.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
