Instructions

Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl.
Add in the dry mix to the wet mix and stir to combine. The batter will not be completely smooth, but there should be no large pockets of dry mix. Let batter sitfor 5 minutes.
Stir apples into the batter. Do not overmix as it will make the pancakes less fluffy and chewier.
Meanwhile, preheat the griddle (or skillet) to high heat. Brush with some of the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to coat the cooking surface.
Ladle ¼-cup of batter onto the griddle. Spread the batter into a 3 ½ inch circle with the back of the ladle. Repeat with ¼ cup-full of the batter, spacing accordingly.
Let cook until the edges are dry and the bubbles on top are popped, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat as necessary if the oil is smoking or the pancakes are getting too dark. Cook on the second side until the center of the pancakes feels set up when lightly pressed, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate, tent with foil to keep warm. Proceed with the remaining batter, brushing the cooking surface with additional oil as necessary. Serve hot!

Notes

Prepare through step 2 one day in advance. Keep wet mixture refrigerated.
For an electric griddle use 400 degrees F to start. Electric griddles do not tend to need to be turned down the way stovetop griddles do. We tested this recipe with an electric griddle and it was fine the whole time set at 400 degrees. If the oil starts to smoke, or the pancakes are browning too quickly, turn it down 25 degrees F.
Let cook until the edges are dry and the bubbles on top are popped, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat as necessary if the oil is smoking or the pancakes are getting too dark. Cook on the second side until the center of the pancakes feels set up when lightly pressed, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate, tent with foil to keep warm. Proceed with the remaining batter, brushing the cooking surface with additional oil as necessary. Serve hot!
