  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 pancakes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 3 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (whites and yolks separated)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup Low-fat FAGE BestSelf Plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Sautéed Apples

  • 2 apples (Granny Smith, PinkLady, or your favorite apples), small diced
  • 2 Tbsp. water
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, stirring well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  2. Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites, placing them into separate bowls.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Make Batter: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  5. Beat Egg Whites: Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, adding airiness to the pancakes.
  6. Fold in Egg Whites: Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, preserving the light texture.
  7. Cook Pancakes: Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat until warm. Add a small pat of butter and let it melt evenly. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for a few more minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
  8. Prepare Sautéed Apples: In a small frying pan over medium heat, add diced apples and water. Cover with a lid and steam for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Remove lid and add butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir and cook until apples reach your desired tenderness and glaze is thickened.
  9. Serve: Top pancakes with the warm sautéed apples, additional yogurt, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or PinkLady for best texture in sautéed topping.
  • Separating and beating egg whites adds extra fluffiness to pancakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm by placing them on a baking sheet in a low oven while cooking the rest.
  • These pancakes freeze well; reheat gently in a toaster or oven.
