Description
Fluffy, tangy pancakes dotted with warm apple pieces, perfect for cozy mornings without the sugar crash.
Ingredients
Pancake Batter Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (Plain is best; vanilla works too, reduce added sugar.)
- 2 pieces eggs (Help with structure and fluffiness.)
- 1 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (Optional; adjust based on sweetness preference.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (For flavor enhancement.)
- 1/2 cup milk (Add more as needed for desired batter consistency.)
- 1 cup flour (All-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour can be used.)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (Main lift for fluffy pancakes.)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (Complement the apple flavor.)
- 1 pinch salt (Enhances overall flavor.)
- 1 cup diced apple (Small pieces recommended for cooking efficiency.)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (For greasing the pan.)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla, milk, and sweetener if using.
- Sprinkle in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in the diced apples.
Cooking
- Heat a nonstick pan on medium to medium-low and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Scoop batter onto the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Flip when bubbles form and edges look set.
Notes
For fluffiness, let the batter sit for 3 to 5 minutes. If using chopped apples, ensure they are small to prevent uneven cooking. Ideal to avoid overmixing to maintain fluffiness.
