Protein-Packed Pancakes image

If you shy away from pancakes because they don't have enough protein, these moist protein-packed pancakes were made for you! Greek yogurt is thick, creamy and a popular lean protein that gives this dish a tangy flavor. Each satisfying stack of pancakes is topped with fresh blueberries. You can also serve with a ripe banana or maple syrup if desired.

Time 40m

Yield 4 pancakes, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs (50 grams per egg)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup 2% fat Greek yogurt
1/3 cup fresh blueberries (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Add dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder and salt) to a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients (eggs, vanilla extract and Greek yogurt) until well mixed.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir together until well combined.
  • Spray your pan or griddle with cooking spray and place onto stove on medium-low heat. Use a 1/4 cup to portion out pancakes that are about 4 inches in diameter.
  • Cook pancakes until the bottom side is brown (about 3-4 minutes), then flip the pancakes. You'll notice that these pancakes won't bubble up like traditional pancakes. Leave extra room in the pan because the pancakes may splatter when you flip them.
  • After flipping the pancake, cook until the other side is brown (about 2-3 minutes). Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Top pancakes with blueberries, and enjoy.
