Bacon Bourbon Apple Pancakes

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
• 2 cups diced apples
• 2 tablespoons white sugar, divided
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons bourbon whiskey
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup oat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped cooked bacon

Directions

Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir apples, 1 tablespoon sugar, and cinnamon in the hot oil until apples are slightly softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.

Whisk milk, butter, egg, bourbon, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Sift all-purpose flour, oat flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture into milk mixture until batter is well mixed; fold in apples and bacon.

Heat remaining 1 teaspoon canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; drop batter, about 1/2 cup per pancake, onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip pancake and cook until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
