Spiced Apple Pancakes

This has become our favorite pancake recipe. It does take a little more time but it is easily halved or doubled. Don't be scared of the whole wheat flour in these, it adds so much to the flavor. One batch will make enough pancakes for our family of 5 with a couple left over. 

Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
2 TBS baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
6 TBS sugar
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups milk
2 large eggs
1 TBS butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 medium apple seeded and cut into chunks

Whisk flour, baking powder, soda, salt, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a blender, mix the milk, egg, butter, vanilla and apple until apple is no longer in chunks, about 15 seconds.
Pour wet mixture into the dry and mix lightly with wooden spoon until dry ingredients are no longer wet. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes while your griddle or skillet heats to 335. Serve with buttermilk syrup
