Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅓ cup (80g) Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (or almond/oat flour for gluten-free)
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (granulated or coconut sugar)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) milk (whole or any dairy/non-dairy milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • For the Blueberry Compote:
  • 1 cup (150g) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 12 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt (about 2 minutes).
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth (2-3 minutes).
  3. Make the batter: Slowly add dry ingredients to wet, stirring gently until just combined. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Prepare the blueberry compote: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until berries soften and mixture thickens slightly (5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Stack pancakes, spoon warm blueberry compote over the top, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs and milk for best results. The blueberry compote can be made ahead and stored refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat pancakes in toaster or oven to maintain texture.
