These bacon apple pancakes are made with Greek yogurt and stuffed full of smoky bacon and sweet apples. Drizzle with maple syrup and say hello to breakfast.
If there is one thing I love it’s the combination of sweet and salty!
That’s why these bacon pancakes with apples are the perfect addition to your breakfast, brunch, or even dinner table!
I first had this combination (bacon and apples) at a fun little Dutch Pancake restaurant in Aruba.
We went there for breakfast one morning and went back 3 more times before we left. I kept getting the apple bacon pancakes because they were literally that great.
Trust me, if you love tart sweet apples combined with salty bacon this is the pancake recipe for you!

I loove crispy bacon and so much more I love crispy edges pancakes …my kind of girl! Thanks for the recipe
It’s always such a happy surprise when a restaurant meal leaves such a good impression! I could see this sweet and salty being amazing.
I adore these. Sweet and Salty is my favorite combo of all time so they are calling my name too!!
i simply can’t name a favorite recipe using yogurt–i tend to slip it into everything! now pancakes, i have not tried. it’s definitely worth a go, especially if bacon is also involved. 🙂
The apple bacon pancake will soon be my favorite recipe…must go purchase bacon!
no favorite recipe with yogurt as i tend to put it in many different baked goods. and of course there is eating it w/ some fresh fruit which is great also.
Looks AWESOME!! going to share this with my bacon loving aunt and grandmother!
also, I love making fruit dip with stonyfield greek yogurt, add a little marshmallow fluff and voila!
I make a fake cheesecake bars with yogurt and they are delicious but half the fat and calories.
Yum! I’d love to make these this weekend
