Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Creating an even mixture of these dry ingredients first is key to a uniform rise.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Continue to whisk until completely smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a whisk or spatula to gently fold the ingredients together only until just combined. A few small lumps are perfectly okay.
- Let the prepared pancake batter rest on the counter for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax and the leavening agents to start working their magic.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter or coconut oil. Pour about ΒΌ cup of the batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.
- Once the bubbles start to pop, carefully flip the pancakes. Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the second side, until they are beautifully golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the pancakes hot off the griddle, stacked high with your favorite healthy toppings.
Notes
Use thick, plain Greek yogurt for best results. Don't overmix the batter - lumps are good. Let batter rest 5-10 minutes before cooking. Cook on medium-low heat to prevent burning. Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
