Make a batch of Chunky Apple Cinnamon Pancakes in no time at all! Diced apples, Greek yogurt, vanilla and cinnamon add to the great flavor!
I love the combination of apples and cinnamon. Do you? YUM! Recently I made some pancakes even better by incorporating diced apples and cinnamon into the batter.
I also added Greek yogurt (plain and unsweetened) to the batter for added protein, and came up with these delicious made from scratch pancakes. The recipe as written will yield approximately 8 pancakes, each about 5″ in diameter.
Filled with lots of diced apples, and enhanced with cinnamon and vanilla flavoring, the pancakes are really GOOD, especially topped with butter and maple syrup!
Here’s how to make this easy recipe for chunky apple cinnamon pancakes.

Make The Pancake Batter
Stir or whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl. Once combined, set the bowl aside.
In a separate bowl, combine eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, oil and vanilla until thoroughly blended. I normally use a fork to do this, and it only takes a minute or so.
Combine, Then Add Diced Apples
Add the egg mixture to the bowl containing the combined “dry” ingredients (flour, etc.). Stir well, but only until these ingredients are combined, being careful to NOT overmix the batter.
Now add the diced unpeeled apples, and stir only until the apples have been incorporated into the batter.
The batter for the chunky apple cinnamon pancakes will be very thick, but resist the urge to thin it out!
Time To Cook The Pancakes!
Spray or lightly oil a large non-stick skillet (or griddle), and heat the skillet on Medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, it’s time to cook the pancakes.
Pour a half-cup of pancake batter into the skillet (or onto the griddle) for each pancake. Because the batter is so thick, I use a spoon to spread out the batter (and shape it into a 5″ circle).
Let the pancake cook until bubbles slightly form around the edges, and the bottom of the pancake browns. Carefully flip the pancake over, using a spatula.
Continue cooking the other side until it’s browned on bottom, the batter is set, and the pancake is cooked all the way through. Remove from the skillet, and repeat with remaining batter.
Continue cooking until all the pancakes have been made. This recipe will yield about eight, 5 inch-wide pancakes. Of course, you can always make more by making the pancakes a little smaller!
What If We Can’t Eat That Many Pancakes At One Time?
My husband and I can’t possibly eat a full batch of the chunky apple cinnamon pancakes, so I let them cool, then stack them (with pieces of wax paper between each pancake).
After that I wrap the stacked leftover pancakes in plastic wrap, and store them in our refrigerator for 1-2 days. That way, they can easily be reheated in the microwave, for another easy breakfast!
You can also freeze the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once flash frozen, transfer them to an airtight freezer bag or container. Thaw and reheat.
Who Wants Some Chunky Apple Cinnamon Pancakes?
Serve the chunky apple cinnamon pancakes hot, topped with a pat of butter. Drizzle the pancakes with pancake syrup, pure maple syrup, or honey, depending on your personal taste.
Serve immediately, and enjoy these tasty breakfast treats! As you can see from the 2nd photo below, they are packed full of chunky, diced apples! They taste really yummy.
I hope you have the chance to make these delicious chunky apple cinnamon pancakes. Perhaps you (and those you love) will enjoy them as much as we do!
