1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp salt
1 cup plain yogurt Greek or regular
1/4 cup milk

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt, milk, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.

Notes

Tips for the Best Apple Yogurt Pancakes

Use freshly grated apple for the most moisture and flavor. If your yogurt is very thick, add an extra tablespoon or two of milk to loosen the batter. Keep the heat at medium to prevent the pancakes from browning too quickly before cooking through. Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.

Variations and Substitutions

For a healthier twist, substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour. Swap the sugar for honey or maple syrup if preferred. Add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt and milk. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg or apple pie spice for extra warmth.
