Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, maple syrup

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the pancakes are golden brown.
6. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
7. Serve the pancakes with your choice of toppings, such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
8. Enjoy your healthier and delicious good old-fashioned pancakes!
