Why does this pancake recipe need Greek yogurt?

These pancakes need Greek yogurt because it makes them extremely fluffy and rich! We honestly cannot image these pancakes without yogurt, and it is definitely important for this recipe! Yogurt also makes them extra thick, and when you bite into them, they are still wonderfully light and airy.

How To Make This Pancake Recipe

Fluffy Pancakes

1. Preheat a griddle or a large skillet to medium heat and grease with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat the Greek yogurt and maple syrup together. Stir in vanilla extract then milk and finally the beaten eggs slowly. Mix until well incorporated.
4. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Over mixing will result in less fluffy pancakes.
5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt Nutella and butter together in 10-second increments, stirring in between until a good consistency is met. 
6. Pour the Nutella filling into a pastry bag with a small tip. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet.
7. When pancake has started to cook a little, swirl in the Nutella filling. When bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip carefully with a spatula and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes more until browned on the underside.
8. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter and keep in a warm oven until ready to serve.

Cream Cheese Glaze

1. In a medium microwaveable bowl, heat cream cheese and butter until melted. Whisk with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Set aside.
2. When ready to serve, spoon the warm glaze on top of each pancake.

The Nutella filling may need additional heating to prevent it from turning into a solid. Just keep it in a bag of warm water. 

What can I pair this breakfast recipe with?

These pancakes would be great with…

• Fresh fruit
• Maple syrup
• Almond butter
• Cinnamon or powdered sugar
• Whipped cream

How do I freeze these pancakes?

These pancakes are perfect for freezers! When all of the pancakes have cooled off, simply transfer them to an airtight container or reusable freezer bag. Date the bag of pancakes and freeze for up to three months.

When ready to reheat pancakes, just reheat in the microwave or in the oven. Top with maple syrup or whip up some cream cheese glaze! We love to freeze these pancakes because they are perfect for those mornings when we cannot think of anything else to prepare.
