Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • ½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • ½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or dairy free milk of choice)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 ¼ cups old fashioned rolled oats (gluten free if desired)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Optional Mix-ins

  • Blueberries (5-6 per pancake) or
  • Chocolate chips (5-6 per pancake)

For Cooking

  • Butter or olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, egg, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Add the rolled oats, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until fully incorporated and a thick batter forms. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to soften and the baking powder to activate.
  3. Preheat the pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or olive oil to lightly grease the surface.
  4. Cook the pancakes: Using a ¼ cup measure, pour batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. If desired, sprinkle 5-6 blueberries or chocolate chips onto each pancake immediately after pouring the batter. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until bubbles start forming on the surface and the edges look set.
  5. Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
  6. Serve warm: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or nuts.

Notes

  • For gluten free pancakes, ensure the rolled oats are certified gluten free.
  • Use dairy free milk like almond, oat, or soy milk to keep the recipe dairy free.
  • Letting the batter rest helps achieve fluffier pancakes by softening the oats.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying coconut sugar or by adding sweet toppings.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat for even cooking without burning.
  • Optional mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips add variety and flavor.
