Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 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 (preferably a sweet variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp)
  • Optional: Chopped nuts or raisins

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the yogurt, milk, egg, sugar, and vegetable oil. Stir until smooth.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the grated apple to the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix. It’s okay if there are some lumps.
  5. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip the Pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  8. Adjust Heat as Necessary: If pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to avoid burning.
  9. Keep Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while cooking the rest of the batter.

Notes

  • Use a sweet apple variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
  • Optional add-ins like chopped nuts or raisins can be added with the grated apples for extra texture.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if making a large batch.
  • Serve with maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit for added sweetness.
