Saturday was a great day.  The forecast was warm and sunny (always a plus in January), and we had absolutely no obligations stopping us from enjoying a glorious day outside.  Any Saturday spent running and playing in the sun needs to first be fueled correctly: pancakes.  I originally made these for Baby Snob, but turns out they were so good, I ended up eating the rest myself.

What I loved about these pancakes was how flavorful they were.  I wouldn’t normally classify a pancake as something stuffed full of flavor, but a simple pancake recipe is actually an empty canvas ready for you to create your favorite flavor combination.  For these, I chose apple and cinnamon.

Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Pancakes (adapted from here)

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/4  cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce

1 6oz container Chobani apple cinnamon Greek yogurt

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and stir together until combined.

2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter.  Pour 1/4 cup of the batter and cook until there are bubble throughout (about 3 minutes) and then flip to cook other side.

To serve, drizzle with warm honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

There is something about pancakes that instantly guarantees your day is off to a good start.  Between these and my lemon curd cornmeal pancakes, I foresee many more pancake mornings in my future.
