→ For Cooking

11 - Butter or oil for greasing

# Directions:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and fully incorporated.
02 - In a separate bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - Pour dry ingredients into wet mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined; some small lumps are acceptable. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough pancakes.
04 - Place a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat surface with butter or oil using a paper towel.
05 - Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto heated surface. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear across surface and edges appear set.
06 - Turn pancakes carefully using a spatula. Cook an additional 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
07 - Repeat cooking process with remaining batter, adding butter or oil to pan as needed to prevent sticking.
08 - Serve immediately while warm. Accompany with honey, fresh berries, maple syrup, or other preferred toppings.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt makes them incredibly fluffy while sneaking in extra protein
  • They are naturally sweetened by ripe bananas, so you can feel good about serving them
02 -
  • Overmixing makes tough pancakes, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking creates fluffier results
03 -
  • Use the ripest bananas you can find, they mash easier and taste sweeter
  • Keep the heat at medium, anything higher burns the outside before the inside cooks
