Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 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
Fruit
- 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
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined, leaving a few lumps to ensure the batter remains tender. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in apples: Carefully fold the peeled, cored, and diced apples into the batter, dispersing them evenly.
- Optional rest: Let the batter rest at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld and the baking powder to activate.
- Prepare cooking surface: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Pour batter: For each pancake, pour approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle or skillet, spacing them apart.
- Cook first side: Cook the pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set and slightly dry.
- Flip: Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula to cook the other side.
- Cook second side: Continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the pancakes turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a pancake; if it comes out clean, the pancake is fully cooked.
- Keep warm (optional): To keep the pancakes warm, place them in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) until ready to serve.
- Plate: Stack the cooked pancakes neatly on serving plates.
- Add toppings: Drizzle with your choice of maple syrup, honey, or preferred pancake syrup for added sweetness.
- Garnish (optional): Add fresh fruit, whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt for added protein and creaminess in the batter.
- Peeling and dicing the apples small ensures they cook properly within the pancakes.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
- If desired, adjust milk quantity slightly to achieve preferred batter consistency.
- Choose apples with firm texture and tartness like Granny Smith for the best flavor balance.
- Keep pancakes warm in a low oven if cooking in batches to serve all at once.
- Optional toppings can be customized to personal taste and dietary restrictions.
