Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup milk (or a plant-based alternative)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium apple (peeled and grated)
1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for extra richness)
Fresh fruit, honey, or maple syrup for topping (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. If using melted butter, add it to the mixture.
Combine the ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine. Do not overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Fold in the grated apple to add natural sweetness and moisture.
Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little butter or oil. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Serve and enjoy: Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or even more yogurt for extra creaminess.
