Pancakes with Chocolate Chips, Oats, and Strawberry Greek Yogurt

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

cooking spray 1 cup hulled fresh strawberries 1 cup gluten-free oats ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt ½ cup unsweetened applesauce 2 egg whites, at room temperature 2 tablespoons dairy-free dark chocolate chips 1 tablespoon unsweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon almond extract 1 pinch sea salt

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by tossing the strawberries, oats, Greek yogurt, applesauce, egg whites, chocolate chips, almond milk, baking powder, cinnamon, almond extract, and a pinch of salt into a blender. Blend everything until you get a smooth batter that’s a little runny. Heat up a skillet over medium-high and give it a quick spray with some cooking spray. Pour about a quarter cup of the batter into the pan and let it cook until you see bubbles forming on top, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes, until it’s nicely browned. Transfer the finished pancake to a rack to cool a bit, then keep going with the rest of the batter until you’re done. Enjoy!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use a non-stick pan or lightly grease your skillet to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to help the oats soften.

Why you’ll love it

These pancakes are a delicious twist on a classic breakfast. The oats add a nice texture and make them more filling. Chocolate chips bring a touch of sweetness, while the strawberry Greek yogurt adds a fresh and tangy flavor. Together, they create a balanced and satisfying meal.

Serving ideas

Serve warm with a dollop of extra strawberry Greek yogurt on top. Fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries pairs wonderfully. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can add extra sweetness if desired.

Storage & leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a toaster or microwave to keep them soft. For longer storage, freeze pancakes separated by parchment paper and thaw before reheating.
