Ingredients Needed
You probably have most of these items in your kitchen right now. Let us look at what we need to make these yummy pancakes.
- One cup of all purpose flour
- One teaspoon of baking powder
- Half a teaspoon of baking soda
- A small pinch of salt
- Three quarters cup of plain Greek yogurt
- One large egg
- Two tablespoons of honey or maple syrup
- Half a cup of milk
- One teaspoon of vanilla extract
- One cup of fresh blueberries
- A little bit of butter for the pan
Step By Step Making
Cooking is super fun when you take it one easy step at a time. Follow my simple guide and you will have perfect pancakes in minutes.
Step One: Grab a large mixing bowl. Put your flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt inside the bowl. Take a whisk and mix them all together nicely.
Step Two: Grab a second bowl. Put your Greek yogurt, egg, honey, milk, and vanilla extract in this bowl. Stir them well until the mixture is very smooth.
Step Three: Pour the wet mixture right into the dry flour bowl. Use a spoon or a spatula to stir them gently. Do not mix too much. A few small lumps are totally fine.
Step Four: Now take your fresh blueberries and fold them softly into the batter. They will give you sweet bursts of fruit in every single bite.
Step Five: Put a large frying pan on your stove. Turn the heat to medium. Add a small piece of butter and let it melt all over the pan.
Step Six: Scoop out about a quarter cup of batter for each pancake. Pour it onto the hot pan. Cook for about three minutes until you see tiny bubbles pop up on the top.
Step Seven: Flip your pancakes carefully with a spatula. Cook the other side for two more minutes until it turns a nice golden brown color.
Step Eight: Take them off the heat and put them on a warm plate. Serve them right away with extra maple syrup or fresh fruit on top.
