Apple Banana Greek Yogurt Pancakes

Apple Banana Greek Yogurt Pancakes

Ingredients:

    • Apple: 1, peeled and grated, or 100ml applesauce
    • Greek Yogurt: 300ml
    • Wholemeal Flour: 80g (about 2/3 cup)
    • Oil: For cooking
    • Banana: 1, mashed

Directions:

    • Prepare the Ingredients:
      • If using an apple, peel and grate it. If using applesauce, measure out 100ml.
      • Mash the banana in a small bowl.
    • Mix the Batter:
      • In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and mashed banana. Stir in the grated apple or applesauce.
      • Gradually add the wholemeal flour, mixing until just combined. The batter should be slightly thick but still pourable.
    • Cook the Pancakes:
        • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
        • Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet, forming pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
        • Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

    • Serve and Enjoy:
      • Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Serving Suggestions:

    • Top with a handful of fresh berries or sliced banana for added flavor and nutrition.
    • Drizzle with a bit of maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness.
    • Serve with a side of yogurt for added creaminess.

Cooking Tips:

    • Ensure the skillet is well-heated before adding the batter to achieve golden-brown pancakes.
    • For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking.
    • Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding a bit more flour if it’s too runny or a bit more yogurt if it’s too thick.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Protein-Rich: Greek yogurt provides a good amount of protein, which helps in muscle repair and growth.
  • High in Fiber: Wholemeal flour adds dietary fiber, which supports digestive health.
  • Natural Sweetness: Apples and bananas provide natural sweetness and essential vitamins.
