Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Low-fat buttermilk
- 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Coconut oil or butter, melted
- as needed Cooking spray or additional coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg and then add the buttermilk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of coconut oil.
Scoop 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake, spreading it slightly to form a circle.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
