Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat preferred
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk, any kind
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large apple, peeled and finely chopped or grated (about 1 cup)
  • Unsalted butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Stir in the Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently fold together with a spatula or spoon; do not overmix. A few lumps are okay.
  4. Fold in the finely chopped or grated peeled apple.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of unsalted butter and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
  6. Pour about ¼ cup (60ml) of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a cooling rack or warm oven (around 200°F / 95°C) to keep warm while finishing the batch.
  9. Serve stacked with maple syrup, honey, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender. Use room temperature eggs and yogurt for better consistency. Grate or finely chop apples to avoid sogginess. Cook on medium heat and butter the pan before each batch. Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes. Adjust milk or flour to achieve desired batter consistency.
