Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the batter – In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Mix wet ingredients – In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients – Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Preheat the pan – Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Cook the pancakes – Pour small portions of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve – Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, syrup, or yogurt.
Notes
- Gluten-free option – Use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
- Dairy-free version – Substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based milk.
- Extra protein boost – Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the batter.
- Berry-infused – Mix in fresh blueberries or raspberries for an added burst of flavor.
- Nutty twist – Top with chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans for a crunchy texture.
