Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

Pancakes are a favorite breakfast at our house and though I like a good regular pancake I am always trying ways to spruce them up a bit. This was a variation that used yogurt and fresh apples and cinnamon for a great flavor.

Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

1 cup flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 Tbsp butter, melted
1 egg, separated
1 1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
1 cup grated apples (1 large apple)

In a mixing bowl combine the flour, wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Preheat a griddle over medium heat. Add the butter, egg yolk, milk, yogurt and grated apples to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the egg whites until fully incorporated. Spray griddle with non-stick cooking spray. Laddle the batter onto the griddle in 1/4 cup circles. Cook until bubbles form over the entire surface about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until done about 1-2 minutes more. Serve with your favorite syrup.

Makes about 20 4" pancakes.
