Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2/3 cup plain greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (can sub in melted unsalted butter)
- 1 egg
- 1 medium apple, peeled and finely chopped
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat griddle or skillet to medium heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together chopped walnuts, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the milk, yogurt, oil (or butter), and egg. Add the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Fold in the apple pieces.
- Spray pre-heated griddle with non-stick cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup pancake batter onto the griddle at a time, spreading out with the back of a spoon (the batter will be slightly thick and lumpy – this is normal). Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface of each pancake and the edges are set, about 2 minutes. Flip over and cook an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom side and fully cooked through.
- Serve warm topped with butter, syrup and additional crushed walnuts and apple pieces, if desired.
- Makes about 15 pancakes, or 5-6 servings (2-3 pancakes each).
