🛒 Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these pancakes at home. Each ingredient has been carefully chosen to keep the recipe light but flavorful.

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup self-rising flour (or all-purpose with 1½ tsp baking powder & ¼ tsp salt)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener (such as monk fruit, erythritol, or stevia)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Optional for Extra Flavor

  • Zest of one lemon for brightness
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon for warmth
  • 1 tablespoon light butter or cooking spray for the pan

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sweetener, and baking powder (if using all-purpose flour). In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.

Step 2: Add Blueberries
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. If you’re using frozen berries, don’t thaw them first — just toss them with a teaspoon of flour to prevent the color from bleeding.

Step 3: Heat the Pan
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray or a small amount of light butter.

Step 4: Cook to Perfection
Pour ¼-cup portions of batter onto the skillet. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve Warm
Transfer to a plate and keep warm while cooking the remaining pancakes. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
