1 large egg
0.5 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
0.66 cup half and half (or milk/almond milk)
1 cup all-purpose or pastry flour
0.5 teaspoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons granulated or coconut sugar
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 medium Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apple
Whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, half and half, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon into the wet mixture.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet base gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
Peel, core, and shred the apple using the coarse side of a box grater.
Fold the shredded apple into the pancake batter.
Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Pour small portions of batter onto the hot surface and cook until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise. Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy. Serve warm with maple syrup or a dollop of extra Greek yogurt if desired.
