Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk (e.g., almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour (or a mix of whole wheat and white flour)
- 1 tablespoon sugar or preferred sweetener (optional)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For Cooking
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing the griddle
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined and fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using) to the wet ingredients. Whisk until a smooth batter forms.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour â…“ cup of batter onto the heated griddle for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form and pop on the surface of the pancake. Flip and continue cooking on the other side until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh blueberries, maple syrup, additional Greek yogurt, orange zest, or nuts.
Notes
- Use white whole wheat flour for a lighter texture or a mix with regular white flour for a milder flavor.
- Adjust the milk quantity if the batter seems too thick or thin; it should be pourable but not runny.
- For a dairy-free option, choose a plant-based yogurt and milk substitute.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes tender.
- Cook pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
