The yogurt in these delicious fluffy Strawberry Yogurt Pancakes give them a real protein boost and they sweetened only with honey. Perfect for a snack or breakfast for the whole family.
You really can’t beat strawberries at this time of year. Big and juicy, they are absolutely delicious and because they are in season you can buy them for much cheaper as well. I’ve been taking advantage by making as many strawberry recipes as possible, as well as just eating them straight from the punnet!
This week I decided to test out a new recipe – Strawberry Yogurt Pancakes. I’ve used yogurt in this pancake recipe rather than milk as it adds a protein boost to the pancakes which helps to keep kids full for a little longer.
Other than that the ingredients are all classic pancake ingredients; including:
- wholemeal and plain flour
- egg
- honey for sweetness
- vanilla extract for taste
All the ingredients are mixed together in one bowl, making them really easy to whip up. You don’t need any equipment or appliances and they’re really easy for the kids to make too.
The mixture makes 8 large pancakes in total so feel free to halve or double the measurements depending on how many you want to make.
Ingredient Substitutions:
1. I used half wholemeal and half plain or all purpose flour. You can use all plain or all wholemeal flour if you like that’s fine.
2. You can also use gluten free flour. Some GF flour is more dense so you may need to adjust the amount of water you need accordingly.
3. I haven’t tried using a substitute for the egg but a flax or chia egg might work.
4. The yogurt can be replaced with a dairy free version.
5. The honey can be substituted with maple syrup or another liquid sweetener.
The pancakes are delicious as a filling and healthy snack during the summer. They also make a brilliant breakfast, especially at the weekend when you may have a little more time to cook.
