Healthier Strawberry Pancakes with Yogurt

Servings: 9 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten Free Rolled Oats or regular Rolled Oats
- ½ cup Greek yogurt plain nonfat
- ½ cup Applesauce unsweetened
- 2 Egg Whites room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Almond Milk or milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
- ½ teaspoon Almond Extract or vanilla extract
- 1 cup Strawberries frozen & thawed
- 2 tablespoons Dark Chocolate Chips or dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat an electric griddle to medium heat. If using a skillet heat to medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. You do not need spray or oil with the griddle. To a blender or food processor, add all the ingredients minus the chocolate chips and process until the batter is smooth. The batter should be slightly runny. Stir the chocolate chips into the batter by hand.
- To the griddle, add 1/4 cup of batter at a time to form a pancake. Cook 3-4 minutes until pancake begins to bubble then flip with a spatula and cook another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
- Place pancakes on a cooling rack as you cook remainder of the batter. Serve and top with more fresh berries and dark chocolate.
Notes
- Batter Consistency: The batter should be thick but not clumpy—allowing it to spread naturally on the griddle. Slightly lumpy is ideal for pancakes that cook evenly.
- Griddle Temp: Preheat your griddle to around 375°F. Test the heat by flicking a few drops of water on the surface; it should sizzle when ready.
- Reheating: Reheat pancakes by thawing frozen ones in the fridge overnight. Warm in the oven at 325°F for 5-8 minutes, or microwave for 1 minute for quick serving.
- Storing: Keep pancakes in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer up to 60 days.
