Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat or 2%
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest from about 1 large lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil for the griddle

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine — do not overmix. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  4. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or coconut oil and spread it evenly across the surface.
  5. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  6. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Add more butter to the griddle as needed.
  7. Stack the pancakes on plates and serve immediately with extra blueberries, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.

Notes

• For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
• If using frozen blueberries, add them directly to the batter without thawing to prevent purple streaks.
• The batter will be thicker than traditional pancake batter — this is normal and creates the fluffy texture.
