Total time
 
For those who love traditional pancakes but want something a little bit healthier!
Serves: About 12 pancakes
Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups white whole wheat flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter (or oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup organic milk, kefir or buttermilk
  • Organic butter for the griddle & for serving
Instructions
  1. Whisk dry ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, gently whisk together the oil, eggs, vanilla, yogurt and milk.
  3. At this point, begin to heat a griddle or cast-iron pan over medium-low heat.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, ½ cup at a time, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. (it might be a little lumpy, which is OK). Let batter sit 5 minutes.
  5. Rub your griddle with butter, then use a ladle or small measuring cup to pour out the pancakes.
  6. Cook cakes for 2-3 minutes or until tiny bubbles begin to form, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately, or keep pancakes in a baking dish in a low oven (200 degrees).
  8. Best served with butter, syrup, jam, fresh fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt and/or whipped cream.
Notes
You can use regular white flour for these. I just like whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour because they offer more fiber & nutrients but still have the fluffy texture of refined flour.
