Ingredients

1 cup wholemeal flour
½ cup milk
½ tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp. ‘A’ grade maple syrup
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp. vanilla extract
¼ tsp. salt
2 Tbsp melted coconut oil (+1 Tbsp to grease pan)
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 cup blueberries

Method

1. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together. In a separate bowl, mix yogurt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and 2 Tbsp. coconut oil. Add the egg to the liquid ingredients and mix thoroughly.

2. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined (don’t over mix!).

3. Heat a frypan over medium heat and melt the extra coconut oil.

4. Once the frypan is hot and the coconut oil is melted, ladle the pancake batter onto the frypan. Let pancakes cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until other side is lightly browned. Remove and set aside. Repeat with remaining batter.

5. These pancakes are a much healthier option to the premixed variety; the wholemeal flour adds an extra layer of vitamins and fibre, whilst the Greek yogurt adds protein and filling staying power that most pancakes just don’t give you.
