Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Stonyfield Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking and Serving
- Cooking Spray (for greasing the pan)
- Maple syrup (and berries, for serving)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, packed light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, whisk the two large eggs until blended. Then add the Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Take care not to overmix; it’s fine to have a few small lumps in the batter.
- Preheat Pan: Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat, then spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a ⅓-cup measuring cup, pour 3 to 4 circles of batter onto the pan. Cook until the pancakes puff up on top and the bottoms turn golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fully cooked and risen through.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the pan and serve warm with maple syrup and a side of fresh berries, if desired.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy; lumps are okay.
- Use medium heat to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the batter.
- Cooking spray helps prevent sticking but can be substituted with a small amount of butter or oil if preferred.
- Serve immediately for best texture, or keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
