Ingredients
- 1½ cups California walnuts, finely chopped
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk
- ⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (can substitute in melted unsalted butter)
- 1 egg
- 1 medium apple, cored, peeled and finely chopped
- Non-stick cooking spray
PREPARATION
- Preheat griddle or skillet to medium heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together chopped walnuts, flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, yogurt, oil (or butter), and egg until well combined. Add the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Fold in the apple pieces.
- Spray griddle with non-stick cooking spray and heat to medium heat or 375°F. Pour about ¼ 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.
