Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Zest of 2 medium lemons
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¾ cup milk (whole milk recommended)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
- In a separate measuring cup, mix the lemon juice and milk. Set aside while you combine the remaining wet ingredients in a large bowl: Greek yogurt, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Gradually add the milk-lemon juice mixture to the yogurt mixture until well blended.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
- Preheat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Pour ¼ cup portions of batter onto the hot surface and cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm with fresh strawberries and a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
