Strawberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes


These were super yummy. I love all things breakfast and I love fruit! Pancakes soo yum ahh. I don't have a waffle maker (SAD) but pancakes are super easy. I wanted to make a pancake that was relatively healthy (aka had more protein) so I tried out this recipe and it was pretty good!

Strawberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes
Recipe by Amy Zhang

1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 large egg
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp honey
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 to 1 cup fresh strawberries
1 tsp sugar (optional)
Butter, for pan

Chop strawberries into small pieces. *Optional: In a small bowl, combine about 1/2 cup of the strawberries with 1 tsp sugar and set aside to macerate.*

In a medium bowl, mix together yogurt, egg, vanilla, and honey. Add in salt, flour, and baking powder, then stir until wet and dry ingredients are mixed. Fold in 1/2 cup of strawberries. In a pan over medium heat, melt a small amount of butter, then add in about 1/4 cup of the batter (it's thick, so you might need to spread it out a little with a spoon). Repeat if you're pan is big enough. When you see bubbles starting to form on the top (after about 3 minutes), flip the pancake(s) and cook another 2-3 minutes.


If you macerated strawberries, use as a delicious, naturally sweet topping!
