Ingredients:
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup Half & Half
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup "quick-1 minute" oats
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 medium-size, tart apple; peeled, cored and diced. About 1/4 cup.
2 to 3 tablespoons raisins
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted, sunflower nuts

Directions:

1. Mix the first five ingredients and set aside. Combine the next six dry ingredients. Add apples and raisins to dry ingredients and mix until the fruit and evenly distributed. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir.

2. Heat heavy frying pan on stove, place sunflower nuts in pan and stir for a couple minutes. Add the sunflower nuts to the batter and stir until well mixed, cover the bowl and let stand for 15 minutes. If batter has become too stiff, thin with milk.

3. Heat frying pan to 375 degrees and add margarine to cover. Pour just less than 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Serve with maple syrup.
 
Notes:
Makes six to eight pancakes.
Anyone can make round pancakes, if yours come out not perfectly round that's more interesting.
