Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (freshly grated)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or butter)
Add-ins and Cooking
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for serving)
- 1 serving cooking spray or additional oil for the pan
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and melted coconut oil until smooth and fully incorporated for a flavorful base.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined to avoid overmixing and maintain pancake fluffiness.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to evenly distribute them without crushing the berries.
- Preheat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while cooking the rest of the batter to serve all pancakes hot.
- Serve: Serve pancakes warm topped with extra blueberries and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness if desired.
Notes
- Stack pancakes high and sprinkle with powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
- Garnish with fresh blueberries and a lemon wedge on the side to enhance color and flavor contrast.
- Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top for extra creaminess and protein boost.
- Use low-fat Greek yogurt to reduce calorie and fat content if preferred.
