Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk (almond milk used in recipe)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour (or 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup white flour)
- 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener of choice (optional)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For Cooking
- Olive oil cooking spray or butter for greasing griddle
Toppings (Optional)
- Blueberries
- Maple syrup
- Greek yogurt
- Orange zest
- Nuts
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and optional sugar to the wet mixture. Whisk everything together until a smooth batter forms without lumps.
- Preheat Griddle: Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a 1/3 cup measure, drop batter onto the heated griddle. Cook until you see small bubbles forming and popping on the surface of the pancakes, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side until it turns golden brown, approximately another 2 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from griddle and serve warm topped with your choice of blueberries, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, orange zest, nuts, or whipped cream.
Notes
- You can substitute dairy milk with any plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.
- For extra fluffiness, do not overmix the batter; stir until just combined.
- If you prefer sweeter pancakes, increase sugar or add sweet toppings like syrup or whipped cream.
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned griddle for best results.
- These pancakes freeze well; stack with parchment paper between layers and reheat in a toaster or oven.
