Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the pan)
- Optional toppings (e.g., fresh fruit, maple syrup, or nuts)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the yogurt, milk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined; do not overmix as it can make the pancakes dense. The batter will be thick but pourable.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the hot skillet to form individual pancakes. Cook them until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or chopped nuts.
