  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

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 bean paste

For Cooking and Serving

  • Cooking Spray (for greasing the pan)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)
  • Fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Then add the Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla bean paste, whisking until fully blended.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps should remain for a light texture.
  4. Preheat Pan: Heat a large nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Using a ⅓-cup measuring cup, pour 3 to 4 scoops of batter onto the pan, forming circles. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges look set and bubbles appear on top, and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the pancakes are fully cooked and fluffy.
  6. Serve: Remove pancakes from the pan. Serve warm topped with maple syrup and fresh berries if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and light.
  • Use a nonstick pan and cooking spray to ensure easy flipping.
  • If desired, substitute the milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy alternative.
  • Greek yogurt adds protein and moisture; full-fat yogurt works best for richness.
  • Adjust cooking time if pancakes are larger or smaller than ⅓ cup scoops.
