  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup (plus more for serving)

  6. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add oil or butter.
  7. Add about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or just until it begins to thicken and bubble.
