Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup Greek yoghurt
• 1 medium Banana (ripe, mashed)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Oil or butter (for cooking)
• 0 Banana slices (optional, for serving)
• 0 Maple syrup (extra, for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vanilla extract, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until well blended.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the batter onto the pan to form small pikelets about 2-3 inches in diameter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 6

Flip the pikelets and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

To prepare the banana maple yoghurt, combine the Greek yoghurt, mashed banana, and maple syrup in a bowl. Mix until smooth.

Step 8

Serve the warm pikelets stacked with the banana maple yoghurt dolloped on top. Add banana slices or drizzle additional maple syrup over the top if desired.
