Fluffy Yogurt Pancakes

These pancakes are light, airy, and oh-so-delicious! They come together quickly and are perfect for a lovely summer breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to your taste)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla, preferably at room temperature)
• 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, adjust as needed)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: Fresh fruits (blueberries, sliced bananas) and maple syrup for serving

Cooking Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, combine the yogurt, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; don’t overmix, as some lumps are okay!
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it if necessary.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
6. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and fluffy.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes warm in the oven if desired.
8. Serve with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
