Description
Delicious homemade apple pancakes that are perfectly fluffy and full of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for extra fluffiness)
- ¾ cup milk (any type works, but whole milk yields the richest results)
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for cooking
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium apple, peeled and grated (Gala or Honeycrisp work wonderfully)
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon nutmeg for enhanced warmth

- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
- Fold in the Apples

Notes
- For make-ahead prep: You can prepare wet and dry ingredients separately and refrigerate overnight. Combine them just before cooking in the morning.
- For fluffy pancakes: Avoid overmixing and use fresh baking powder. Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Yogurt substitution: Flavored yogurt can be used, but reduce sugar by 1-2 teaspoons.
- Freezing instructions: Cool pancakes completely, freeze in single layer, then transfer to freezer bag with parchment paper between each pancake.
- Fruit variations: Try pears, peaches, or berries instead of apples (adjust cooking time for berries).
- Timing tip: Flip pancakes when bubbles form on surface and edges look slightly dry (2-3 minutes on medium heat).
