Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, combine the almond milk, Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 4

If desired, fold in the chia seeds for extra nutrition.

Step 5

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle, if needed.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 8

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
