Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt Adds protein and creaminess to keep you full longer.
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour The base to create structure in the pancakes.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps pancakes rise for a soft, fluffy texture.
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup For sweetness; can be adjusted per your taste preference.
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk Makes the batter smooth and easy to mix. Can substitute with any milk of choice.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the bananas: Cut bananas into about 1/4 inch thick slices and set aside.
  2. Mix the batter: In a large bowl, add the Greek yogurt, flour, baking powder, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Cooking
  1. Heat the skillet: In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it bubbles.
  2. Dunk and cook: Dunk each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it’s completely covered, then transfer to the skillet. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of additional batter onto each banana slice.
  3. Flip for perfection: Once the batter bubbles, gently flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-3 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Repeat until done: Continue the process until all pancakes are made.
  5. Serve and top: Transfer pancakes to serving bowls and top with fresh berries, a dollop of yogurt, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
