Why You’ll Love These Fluffy Chocolate Chip Greek Yogurt Pancakes
Who doesn’t love waking up to a stack of fluffy, chocolate chip pancakes on a lazy Sunday morning? But what if I told you that these delicious pancakes could also be a healthier breakfast option?
Introducing our Fluffy Chocolate Chip Greek Yogurt Pancakes and why they are a great alternative to traditional pancakes. Greek yogurt in the recipe, adds high protein content, good bacteria for gut health nutrition and a creamy texture to the pancakes and when it comes to delish, who doesn’t love melty chocolate chips, butter and syrup in every bite? Such a healthy breakfast option everyone will love!
The role of chocolate chips has the nutritional benefits of dark chocolate, which is typically used in chocolate chip pancakes. We used dark chocolate chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for maximum health benefits, but any semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips will work, right?
Plus, you can easily customize these pancakes with more variations! Bring on the cinnamon or blueberries! Let’s cook up a batch now!
Ingredients You Need
Fluffy Chocolate Chip Greek Yogurt Pancakes Recipe
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour can use gluten free flour, like Bob’s Red Mill or for super healthy, go with whole wheat flour, also oat flour can be used, although you may have to add just a little more to adjust your reciope
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar I used healthy sugar, Lakanto
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt I used The Greek Gods
- ⅔ cup milk of choice or buttermilk can be used I used almond milk
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions How to Make Our Fluffy Chocolate Chip Greek Yogurt Pancakes
- Preheat a large griddle or frying pan to low-medium heat.
- In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt & sugar.
- Whisk the Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla and eggs together until mixed well.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the flour mixture using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Add the chocolate chips and fold in. (It’s ok if your batter is a little lumpy.)
- Lightly grease your frying pan/griddle with oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- For each pancake, pour ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the griddle. I like to use my ice cream scoop and then spread the pancakes out a little!
- Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until you see a few air bubbles on the uncooked side. Flip and continue to fry for 2-3 minutes on the second side or until golden.
- Repeat making pancakes with the rest of the batter.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, butter and/or whipped cream!
Storing Chocolate Chip Pancakes
