Ingredients

Scale

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)

Other

  • 1 large apple, grated (preferably Fuji or Honeycrisp)
  • Optional: Chopped nuts or raisins

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined and evenly mixed.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the plain yogurt, milk, egg, sugar, and vegetable oil. Stir this mixture until smooth and uniform.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the grated apple to the wet ingredient mixture and gently stir to incorporate the apple pieces evenly.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir gently just until the batter is combined; it’s important not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy. Some lumps in the batter are fine.
  5. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
  7. Flip the Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Adjust Heat as Necessary: Monitor the cooking temperature and reduce the heat if pancakes are browning too quickly to avoid burning while ensuring they cook fully inside.
  9. Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you finish cooking the remaining batter.

Notes

  • Use a sweet apple variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Optionally add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
  • Serve pancakes with maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit for a wholesome breakfast.
  • If the batter seems too thick, add a bit more milk to reach desired consistency.
