  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups Greek yogurt
  • 6 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup white sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • Cooking spray or melted butter for greasing

Toppings

  • Raspberries
  • Blueberries
  • Chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, sugar or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to ensure they are well mixed and free of lumps.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix the batter to maintain a fluffy texture.
  4. Preheat the Cooking Surface: Lightly grease a non-stick skillet or griddle with cooking spray or melted butter and heat it over medium heat until warm.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour batter onto the cooking surface to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, until bubbles appear on the surface and edges start to set.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Assemble the Pancake Bowls: Place the cooked pancakes into bowls, layering or stacking them as preferred.
  8. Add Toppings: Top the pancake bowls generously with your choice of raspberries, blueberries, and chocolate chips for added flavor, texture, and visual appeal.
  9. Serve or Store: Serve immediately for the best taste and texture, or allow to cool and store in airtight containers for convenient meal prep.

Notes

  • You can substitute white sugar with maple syrup for a natural sweetener.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Use fresh or frozen berries as toppings depending on availability.
  • For meal prep, refrigerate the pancakes and toppings separately to maintain freshness.
  • Reheat pancakes gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
