Apple Cinnamon Pancakes With Yogurt Topping

Developed by Joy Bauer, RD, for Everyday Health

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour, whole-wheat

• 1 cup milk, fat-free

•

1 egg white

• ¼ cup yogurt, plain, fat-free

•

1 tablespoon honey

•

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

•

1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground

• ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg, fresh

•

½ teaspoon baking soda

•

1 cup apples, peeled and diced (preferably Golden Delicious)

•

Oil spray

• 8 ounces flavored yogurt, fat-free or low-fat, any preferred flavor (for topping); avoid

“fruit on the bottom” varieties as they may contain seeds.

Note: If you’re experiencing a flare-up, use all-purpose flour. Substitute lactose-free milk or soymilk if you are

having difficulties digesting lactose.

Preparation

Combine the flour, milk, egg white, yogurt, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking

soda in a blender and blend until smooth, or thoroughly mix ingredients by hand. Stir in

the apple.

Spray a griddle or large frying pan with non-stick cooking spray. When the pan is hot, ladle

about 2 tablespoons batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form

around the edges, 1-2 minutes. Flip the pancakes, and cook about 1 minute longer, until the

centers are cooked through and outsides are golden brown. Serve immediately with fat-free

yogurt topping of choice, or allow to cool, and freeze in an airtight container
