Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Whole wheat flour (1 cup)
  • Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Greek yogurt (1 cup)
  • Milk (1/2 cup)
  • Egg (1, beaten)
  • Honey (2 tablespoons)
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)
  • Fresh berries (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, beaten egg, milk, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. The yogurt should be at room temperature for best results.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy to preserve the light texture.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
  7. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with a generous handful of fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
