🥘 INGREDIENTS YOU'LL NEED

All you need are some simple, pantry staple ingredients to make these tasty Yogurt Pancakes at home.

Flour:First, we'll need all-purpose flour for these pancakes. We'll mix it with baking soda and baking powder as the base of our batter.

Yogurt:The tangy taste of yogurt is what makes this recipe special. I'm using plain, unflavored yogurt, but you can also use a flavor of your choice.

Vanilla:Next, we will use a little pure vanilla extract. The sweet taste and light floral notes are perfect for balancing some of the tartness in the yogurt.

Butter:Lastly, we need some butter to give our pancakes a richer flavor and make them light and fluffy. Be sure to use unsalted butter so we can control the amount of salt we add.

🔪 INSTRUCTIONS

Making these yogurt pancakes is quick and easy for the tastiest pancakes you’ve ever had! The full instructions are in the recipe card below, but let's look at the main steps to making this treat.

Step 1:

In a mixing bowl, sift salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour. Keep aside until later. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, sugar, and vanilla until the sugar dissolves. Add the yogurt and water, then beat for two minutes. Add the butter and beat until combined.

Step 2:

Add the previously sifted flour to the wet ingredients and mix gently. You might see some lumps, but don't let this encourage you to overmix the batter.

Step 3:

Take ¼ cup of the batter and pour over a heated non-stick pan. If you are not using a non-stick pan, then add a tablespoon of butter to the pan before you pour in the batter.

Step 4:

When bubbles appear on the top of the pancake, flip it. It should take around two minutes to cook both sides on medium/low heat.

Step 5:

Serve the pancakes at room temperature with honey, butter, fruits, or syrup.

👩🏽‍🍳PRO TIPS

Don't overmix the batter: It can be tempting to continue mixing it until it's completely smooth. However, this will result in dense, chewy pancakes.

Use room temperature ingredients: It's important to use ingredients that are at room temperature. This helps them to blend together smoothly and evenly, giving a consistent texture in the batter.

Let the batter rest: Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes before cooking the pancakes. This allows the baking powder and baking soda to activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.

Keep them fluffy: To keep the pancakes moist and fluffy, cover them while they're still hot.

📋VARIATIONS

These delicious Yogurt Pancakes are perfect as is, but if you're looking to change up the flavor, here are some great variation ideas you can try:

• Banana: Add a ripe banana to the batter for an extra burst of flavor. This is also a great way to use up overripe bananas!
• Chocolate: Mix cocoa powder into the batter for a rich, decadent flavor. Top the pancakes with chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
• Blueberry: Add some blueberries to the batter for a sweet and juicy surprise. Top the pancakes with more blueberries or mix them up with other fruits.
• Add nuts: Toast and chop some of your favorite nuts and add them to the batter.

🍽️HOW TO SERVE

You can serve these pancakes the way you serve your usual pancakes, but they are great with whipped cream, jam, chocolate syrup, honey butter sauce, and chopped fruit.

🌡️ STORING

Leftover yogurt pancakes should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze yogurt pancakes for up to 3 months. Allow them to thaw overnight before heating.
