Whether you're looking for a healthy breakfast or a satisfying snack, these pancakes strike the perfect balance between indulgence and nourishment.

Ingredients
For about 8 pancakes, you'll need:

Dry Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat flour (or any flour of choice)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
A pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients:

¾ cup plain or Greek yogurt (low-fat or full-fat)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
Add-Ins:

1 small apple, grated (peeled or unpeeled)
2–3 tablespoons milk (to adjust batter consistency)
Optional Toppings:

Fresh fruit slices
A dollop of yogurt
A drizzle of honey or maple syrup
Directions
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Combine the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth.

Mix the Batter:
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Fold in the grated apple and add milk as needed to reach a thick but pourable consistency.

Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or butter. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy warm!

Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: These pancakes are best served warm with a side of yogurt or fresh fruit.
Storage: Let the pancakes cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster or microwave before serving.
