Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, chia seeds, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Fold in the fresh raspberries gently to avoid breaking them.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with honey until smooth.
- Serve the pancakes warm, topped with honey-kissed yogurt and additional raspberries if desired.
Notes
Tip: For a lighter version, you can use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt to reduce calories while maintaining creaminess.
For fluffier pancakes, make sure not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine! You can substitute fresh raspberries with blueberries or strawberries if preferred. If you want to make this recipe vegan, swap the yogurt with a plant-based alternative and use flax eggs instead of regular eggs.
These pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month. Reheat them in a toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of nuts for added texture!
