What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 4 whole large egg whites
- 0.5 cup oat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp honey
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Mix the Batter
In a large bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, egg whites, vanilla extract, and honey until well combined. Fold in oat flour and baking powder gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium low heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Allow the pan to come to a consistent temperature before adding batter.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Pour approximately 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook 1 to 2 more minutes.
Step 4: Serve with Toppings
Stack pancakes and serve with fresh berries, a dollop of extra Greek yogurt, or a light drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor.
