Apple Oat Pancakes

1/3 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

2 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1 cup apple -- grated

1/4 teaspoon vanilla -- optional

Mix together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Beat in the eggs and the milk (or apple juice). Add the grated apple. Mix well. Spoon one-fourth of the mixture at a time onto a hot, lightly oiled skillet. Using a spatula, spread the batter out to a thickness of about 1/3 of an inch. Cook over medium-high heat until bubbles appear and the surface begins to dry out. Turn over and cook until done.
