Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cups + 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, cut into small chunks
  • 4 tablespoons butter, for the pan
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl whisk together the egg yolks, Greek yogurt, orange juice, brown sugar, and vanilla; set aside.
  2. In a separate large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; and diced strawberries and toss to combine, making sure berries are fully coated in the flour.
  3. Add flour mixture to the wet milk mixture, and stir just to combine; do not over mix! The batter will be thick, so don't worry if there's a lot of clumps left.
  4. Add egg whites to a large bowl or the body of a stand mixer. Beat using a handheld mixer or the whisk attachment until the whites begin to form soft peaks.
  5. With a rubber spatula fold egg whites into flour/Greek yogurt mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
  6. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-heat.
  7. Ladle 1/3 cup scoops of the batter into the skillet, only cooking a few at a time so they don't blend together. Cook pancakes until the edges begin to brown and the top of the batter bubbles, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat for all pancake batter.
  8. Top pancakes with syrup and extra strawberries, or anything else your heart desires! Serve at once.
