Ingredients

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk (or almond milk)
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
• Cooking spray or butter for cooking

How to make it

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and honey or syrup (if using).
2. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Gently fold in the blueberries.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or butter.
6. Pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes and cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown.
7. Serve warm with additional blueberries, honey, or syrup if desired.

How to serve it

These pancakes are best served warm right off the skillet. You can top them with extra blueberries, a drizzle of honey, or maple syrup. For an even more decadent touch, consider a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of nuts.

How to store it

If you have leftover pancakes, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month. Just wrap each pancake individually in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer-safe bag.

Helpful tips

• Make sure not to overmix the batter; this helps keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
• If the batter seems too thick, add a little extra milk until you reach your desired consistency.
• Cooking on medium heat helps to ensure that the pancakes cook through without burning on the outside.

Optional variations

• Feel free to swap blueberries for other fruit like strawberries or bananas.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor!

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a different type of yogurt?
Yes! You can substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt, but keep in mind that the texture and protein content may change.

Are these pancakes gluten-free?
You can use a gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour to make these pancakes gluten-free.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?
While it’s best to cook the batter fresh, you can prepare it a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a gentle stir before cooking.
