Apple Yogurt Pancakes

"Green Apples" Paul Cézanne

I eat these at least once a week. I'm totally in love with them. The recipe is so simple and there's actually some nutritional benefit! I have even begun mixing it up with strawberries instead of apples and vanilla instead of cinnamon. Yum!

INGREDIENTS

* 2 eggs
* 1 2/3 cups milk
* 1 (8 ounce) container plain yogurt
* 1/4 cup vegetable oil
* 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 3 apples - peeled, cored and shredded (cheese grater)

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, milk, yogurt and oil until well blended. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, stir into the milk mixture until smooth. Fold in chopped apple.
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each cake. Cook until bubbles form in the cakes and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip and cook the other side. Serve warm with syrup or jam.
