# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tbsp granulated sugar
03 - 1 tsp baking powder
04 - 1/2 tsp baking soda
05 - 1/4 tsp salt
→ Wet Ingredients

→ Add-ins
11 - 1 cup fresh blueberries
→ For Cooking
12 - Butter or oil for greasing pan
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together until just combined, leaving small lumps intact. Avoid overmixing to preserve pancake texture.
04 - Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
05 - Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with butter or oil.
06 - Drop approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the heated surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form across the top and edges appear set.
07 - Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and completely cooked through.
08 - Continue cooking remaining pancakes, adding more butter or oil to the pan as necessary to prevent sticking.
09 - Serve pancakes warm. Accompany with maple syrup, additional fresh blueberries, or a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The Greek yogurt makes these impossibly fluffy while keeping them tender
- Blueberries burst in every bite creating those perfect juice pockets
- They actually keep you full thanks to the protein boost
02 -
- Overmixed batter equals tough pancakes. Stop as soon as the flour streaks disappear.
- Letting the batter rest for five minutes while the pan heats up makes them fluffier.
- Frozen blueberries work fine but toss them in a little flour first to prevent purple streaks.
03 -
- Let your butter cool to room temperature before adding it to wet ingredients
- Cast iron skillets create the most gorgeous golden crust but non stick makes flipping easier
