Description
Delicious and fluffy pancakes made with Greek yogurt, perfect for breakfast!
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled; plus more for cooking)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour; if using whole wheat, add 2 tablespoons more milk)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Sliced bananas and whipped cream (optional but recommended for decorating)
- Maple syrup or other dip (optional)
Instructions
- Add the yogurt, milk, eggs, and butter to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine into a smooth mixture.
- Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk gently to combine.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt a little butter and swirl to coat the pan.
- To make the head, add 1 tablespoon batter to the pan. To make the body, add 2 tablespoons batter to the pan. Make 2 oval feet using about ½ tablespoon each and 2 long skinny ears using about ½ teaspoon batter each. (This does not need to be precise, but those are good amounts to start with.)
- Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until you see bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges are set. Flip over with a spatula and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Assemble on the plate as shown, with the body slightly overlapping the head and the ears at the top and the feet at the bottom. Place two banana slices on the feet and a squirt of whipped cream as the tail.
- Repeat to make the rest of the pancakes.
- Serve warm with applesauce, other fruit puree, maple syrup, and/or nut or seed butter as you like.
Notes
- These pancakes are best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Feel free to add your favorite fruits or nuts into the batter for extra flavor.
