Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped apples
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Maple syrup and cinnamon to taste
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg, milk (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Fold in Apples: Carefully fold in the chopped apples using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Preheat the Skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until both sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Notes
Use fresh apples for the best texture and flavor. These pancakes can be made ahead of time and frozen for quick breakfasts.
