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)

Add-ins

  • 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 the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed to ensure consistent leavening and flavor.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the plain yogurt, milk, egg, sugar, and vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base for the pancakes.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold in the grated apple to the wet mixture, distributing it evenly for bursts of natural sweetness in every bite.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; it’s important not to overmix to keep the pancakes tender. Some lumps are perfectly fine.
  5. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with vegetable oil to prevent sticking and to achieve a golden crust.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and edges start to set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip the Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula. Cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Adjust Heat as Necessary: Monitor the cooking temperature and reduce if the pancakes are browning too quickly to avoid burning while ensuring they cook thoroughly.
  9. Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while finishing the rest of the batter, assuring a warm serving at the end.

Notes

  • Use a sweet apple variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best flavor balance.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy and tender.
  • Optional add-ins like chopped nuts or raisins can be folded into the batter for extra texture and sweetness.
  • Keep the heat at medium to cook pancakes evenly without burning.
  • Serve with maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
