Lemon Poppy Seed Greek Yogurt Pancakes are a delightful and nutritious twist on traditional pancakes. They’re fluffy, flavorful, and perfect for a wholesome breakfast or brunch. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, poppy seeds, and lemon zest. Make sure the ingredients are well combined.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until just combined. Please be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay for me. If the batter is too thick, you can add a little more milk.
- Preheat the Griddle or Pan: Preheat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve Warm: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a serving plate. Repeat the process until all the batter is used.
- Optional Toppings: Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings. Suggestions include a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of Greek yogurt, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of additional poppy seeds.
- Enjoy: These Lemon Poppy Seed Greek Yogurt Pancakes are best enjoyed warm. The Greek yogurt adds a creamy texture, while the lemon and poppy seeds provide a burst of flavor.
