Ingredients:
1 apple, peeled and grated
1 egg
2 tbsp sugar
150 grams (2/3 cup) yogurt
A pinch of salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
140 grams (4.93 oz or 2/3 cup + 1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
Directions:
1. Prepare the Batter:
- Grate the Apple:
- Peel and grate 1 apple into a bowl.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 2 tbsp sugar, a pinch of salt, and 150 grams yogurt until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, mix 140 grams flour with 1/2 tsp baking powder.
- Combine Wet and Dry:
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the grated apple. The batter will be thick, but that’s okay.
