Guilt-Free Greek Yogurt Pancakes
Pancakes hold a special place in my heart. They were always a special treat when my partner and I could enjoy a slow morning together. These heart-healthy pancakes lean on almond milk and non-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt instead of butter or heavy cream, making them a genuinely lighter way to start the day. The Greek yogurt adds a real protein boost to keep you full, while a touch of maple syrup brings just the right amount of sweetness. Fluffy, satisfying, and a nutritious way to handle your morning pancake cravings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1/2 cup Almond Milk
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt Low or Non-Fat
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- To the combined dry ingredients, add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Gently stir all the wet and dry ingredients together just until they are combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Prepare a non-stick skillet or griddle by lightly drizzling it with a small amount of olive oil. Heat the skillet over medium heat.
- Working in batches, scoop the batter onto the preheated skillet or griddle.
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bottoms are lightly golden brown.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked through.
- Repeat steps 5-7 with the remaining batter, adding a light drizzle of oil to the skillet between batches as needed.
- Serve the guilt-free Greek yogurt pancakes warm, with any desired toppings or accompaniments.
