Greek Yoghurt Lemon Pancakes

November 7, 2019 by Helena Leave a Comment

These Greek Yoghurt Lemon Pancakes are light, fluffy and has a fresh zing from the lemon. This recipe makes a big batch of pancakes and you will need it, they are that good!

The added greek yoghurt makes them healthy-ish. There is no added oil or butter to the batter but they are still soft, fluffy and moist at the same time from the greek yoghurt.

Why you will love these Lemon Pancakes:

  • They are fluffy
  • Full of lemon flavour
  • Easy to make
  • Melt in your mouth good!

Ingredients you will need to make these Greek Yoghurt Lemon Pancakes:

  • Large lemon, the zest and juice
  • Milk., I use organic whole milk or almond milk
  • Greek yoghurt, I use full fat and unsweetened
  • Eggs, I always use organic eggs
  • Flour, in this recipe I used all purpose flour but white whole wheat flour also works well
  • A mix of both baking powder and baking soda
  • Sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter for frying

Instructions to make this recipe:

Start by mixing all the wet ingredients in a bowl. Mix and let sit for 5 minutes for the lemon zest to infuse more flavor. 

Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then fold into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to over mix the batter, then you will end up with dense and rubbery pancakes. And no one wants that!

In a large skillet melt a little butter and ladle the batter in the pan. Fry the pancakes over medium heat until the bottom is golden brown and bubbles start to form at the top, about 2-3 min. Flip and cook for about 1-2 min more until golden brown. Serve this delicious breakfast with maple syrup, fresh berries, strawberry chia jam

Enjoy!

I like to serve them with strawberry chia jam, yoghurt and roasted almonds. When in season, a generous helping of fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup. A dollop of greek yoghurt and a little honey is also really, really good. The pancakes a re so tasty so they really don’t need much to go with them.
