Step-by-Step Directions

Follow these simple steps to make perfect Banana Cinnamon Yogurt Pancakes every time:

🥄 1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

• 1 cup flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp salt

Set aside.

🍌 2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In a separate medium bowl:

• Mash 1 ripe banana until smooth

• Add 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and maple syrup/honey

• Whisk until fully combined

🧁 3. Combine Wet and Dry

• Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients

• Gently mix until just combined — do not overmix

• If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk (1–2 tbsp)

💡 Pro Tip: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. It helps activate the baking soda for fluffier pancakes.

🔥 4. Heat the Skillet

• Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat

• Lightly grease with butter or spray oil

🥞 5. Cook the Pancakes

• Use a 1/4 cup scoop to pour batter into the skillet

• Cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form on top and edges look set

• Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown

🧡 Variation: Add blueberries, mini chocolate chips, or chopped walnuts to the batter before cooking.

🍽️ 6. Serve Warm

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like:

• Greek yogurt and banana slices

• Maple syrup and toasted nuts

• A sprinkle of extra cinnamon
