Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (plus more for cooking)
1 large apple, grated (Fuji or Honeycrisp recommended)
Optional: chopped nuts or raisins for mix-ins
Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, mix yogurt, milk, egg, sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Add Apple:
Stir the grated apple into the wet mixture.
Make the Batter:
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring gently just until combined. Do not overmix—some lumps are okay.
Preheat Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
Cook Pancakes:
Scoop ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and edges begin to set.
Flip and Finish:
Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat if browning too fast.
Serve Warm:
Keep pancakes warm under a towel while cooking remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup, honey, or yogurt and fruit.
Notes
Sweeter Option: Use sweet apple varieties like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp.
Flavor Boost: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg.
Toppings: Try chopped walnuts, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Make it Whole Grain: Substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour.
