Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 cup milk (or almond milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (plus more for serving)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- Optional toppings: fresh fruit, nuts, or additional honey/maple syrup
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 3: Preheat the Pan
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
Step 5: Serve
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Enjoy!
These Greek yogurt pancakes are not only delicious but also a great way to start your day with a boost of protein. Enjoy them with your favorite toppings for a delightful breakfast experience!
