Ingredients
  

Pancake Base
  • 1 piece egg Provides structure and moisture; can be substituted with a flax egg for a vegan option.
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt Adds creaminess and tanginess; substitute with regular or plant-based yogurt for a lighter option.
  • ⅔ cup half-and-half Enhances richness; swap with milk for a lighter choice or non-dairy milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup flour Forms the base of the pancake; consider whole wheat for more fiber or gluten-free flour as needed.
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder Acts as a leavening agent; ensure it’s fresh for the best rise.
  • ¼ teaspoon salt Balances sweetness and enhances overall flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar Provides sweetness; honey or maple syrup are excellent natural alternatives.
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth and spice, elevating the flavor profile.
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract Introduces a pleasant aroma, tying together the flavors.
  • 1 piece apple Delivers moisture and texture; try granny smith or gala apples, grated for even distribution.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • skillet

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, crack the egg and add the Greek yogurt and half-and-half. Whisk until smooth and homogenous, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract into the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined and smooth.
  3. Peel, core, and grate the apple. Gently fold the grated apple into the pancake batter until evenly distributed.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Allow it to warm for about 2-3 minutes until shimmering.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until edges are set and bubbles form on the surface.
  6. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fluffy.
  7. Remove the pancakes from the skillet, keep warm on a plate, and serve dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup.
