Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- ¾ cup milk (any kind)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, honey, fresh fruit, whipped cream, chopped nuts, cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar to combine the dry ingredients.
- Step 2: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy; avoid overmixing.
- Step 4: Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Step 5 (Optional): Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to improve texture.
- Step 6: Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat.
- Step 7: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
- Step 8: Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and edges begin to look set.
- Step 9: Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula.
- Step 10: Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Step 11: Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Step 12 (Optional): Keep pancakes warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) until ready to serve.
- Step 13: Stack the pancakes on serving plates.
- Step 14: Drizzle with maple syrup, honey, or your favorite syrup.
- Step 15 (Optional): Garnish with fresh fruit, whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Step 16: Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the Greek yogurt and milk with coconut or almond yogurt and plant-based milk.
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast to the sweetness of the batter.
- To add extra flavor, mix in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- If you prefer thinner pancakes, add a little more milk to the batter to reach your desired consistency.
Storage
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them gently in a toaster or in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze pancakes separated by parchment paper in a freezer bag for up to 2 months, then reheat directly from frozen.
How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, you can substitute regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt adds more creaminess and a thicker texture that helps make the pancakes fluffy.
How do I prevent the apples from sinking to the bottom?
Gently folding the diced apples into the batter right before cooking helps distribute them evenly and prevents sinking. Letting the batter rest briefly can also help.
