Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk (or more as needed)
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond butter, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add the milk and stir until the batter reaches the desired consistency. You may need to add more milk depending on how thick or thin you like your pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet or griddle.
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, until all pancakes are cooked.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips
- Consistency is Key: When mixing your batter, aim for a smooth texture but avoid overmixing. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense pancakes.
- Temperature Control: Use medium heat to ensure even cooking. Too high, and you'll burn the outside while the inside remains raw.
- Butter Matters: Use a non-stick skillet and a small amount of butter for that perfect golden-brown exterior and rich flavor.
- Bubble Watching: Wait for bubbles to form and edges to look dry before flipping - this is your pancake's way of telling you it's ready to turn.
- Batch Brilliance: Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) while preparing the remaining batch.
- Customize Your Toppings: Try fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts to elevate your pancake experience.
- Batter Consistency Hack: If the batter seems too thick, add milk gradually. If too thin, add a touch more flour.
