Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Greek yoghurt
- 1 medium Banana (ripe, mashed)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Oil or butter (for cooking)
- Banana slices (optional, for serving)
- Maple syrup (extra, for drizzling)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vanilla extract, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until well blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the batter onto the pan to form small pikelets about 2-3 inches in diameter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pikelets and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
To prepare the banana maple yoghurt, combine the Greek yoghurt, mashed banana, and maple syrup in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
Serve the warm pikelets stacked with the banana maple yoghurt dolloped on top. Add banana slices or drizzle additional maple syrup over the top if desired.
