Ingredients You’ll Need

Serves 3–4 (makes about 12 pancakes)

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or full-fat works!)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind—dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping, if desired)

For Serving:

  • Maple syrup
  • Butter
  • Fresh fruit (optional, like sliced bananas or berries)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for extra indulgence)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3: Make the Batter

  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter will be lumpy—that’s okay! Overmixing can make pancakes dense.
  2. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the pancakes while cooking if desired.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each pancake for a gooey finish.
  3. Cook for 2–3 minutes , or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes , or until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with butter, a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy warm!
