Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Pancakes
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine one egg with 1 cup of Greek yogurt and ½ cup of half-and-half. Whisk until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Gently whisk until just combined; small lumps are okay.
  3. Peel, core, and grate 1 medium apple into thin shreds. Gently fold the grated apple into the batter using a spatula.
  4. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with cooking oil or butter. Heat for about 2 minutes.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown, about another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Remove pancakes from skillet and keep warm. Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup.
