Greek Yogurt Pancakes
Description
This pancake recipe incorporates Greek yogurt into the batter, contributing moisture and a slight tang that enriches the flavor. The dry ingredients include flour (all-purpose or whole wheat), baking powder, sugar, and salt, while the wet ingredients combine oil, eggs, vanilla or almond extract, Greek yogurt, and milk. Mixing the batter until just combined retains some lumps, preventing overworked gluten and resulting in lighter pancakes.
Cooking on a greased griddle at medium heat, pancakes are flipped once bubbles form and edges begin to dry, resulting in a golden exterior and soft interior. Pancakes can be served with syrup, powdered sugar, honey, or fresh fruit, allowing for varied topping choices depending on preference.
The optional sugar in the batter adds sweetness, but omitting it makes the pancakes less sweet and slightly healthier.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar see note
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (or ½ teaspoon almond extract)
- ¾ cup yogurt or vanilla greek yogurt, plain, Greek
- ¾ cup milk (I used fat free half & half)
- syrup for topping suggestions
- powdered sugar
- honey
- Fruit
Instructions
- Preheat a pan or griddle to 325 (medium heat). Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, mix oil, eggs, vanilla, and greek yogurt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir. Stir in milk until all ingredients are combined - don't over mix, there should still be a few lumps.
- Grease griddle and pour 1/4 - 1/3 cup batter onto the griddle. Allow to cook for about 2 minutes or until edges begin to look "dry" and bubbles form in the batter. Use a thin spatula to flip the pancake over and allow to cook for a mother minute. Transfer to a platter and continue with remaining batter.
- Top pancakes with desired toppings such as syrup, powdered sugar, honey, and fruit.
Notes
- Sugar is optional; adding it gives a touch of sweetness while omitting makes the pancakes less sweet.
