Step 1

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg, olive oil, honey, vanilla, and buttermilk.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir the batter just until all ingredients are incorporated. Let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 5

Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat the skillet to medium. Add ¼ cup of batter to the skillet for each pancake. Sprinkle the top of each pancake with about 2 teaspoons of chopped apricots. (Cook 2 to 3 pancakes at a time depending on the size of your skillet.)

Step 7

Let the pancakes cook until bubbles appear, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 2 more minutes. Transfer the pancakes to a plate or baking sheet, and repeat the process with the remaining batter. You can keep pancakes warm by placing the baking sheet in a warm oven (about 200 degrees Fahrenheit) while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve warm. Top with more chopped apricots, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of vanilla yogurt, if desired.
