Lemon Greek Yogurt Pancakes[
These homemade lemon and greek yogurt pancakes are fluffy and delicious!This recipe takes less than 20 minutes to make and look absolutely amazing. Not only are they light, fluffy, and have the perfect hint of lemon, they are also a healthy upgrade from your typical pancakes. Greek yogurt adds protein, calcium, and vitamin D, making it a well-rounded breakfast! The use of whole wheat flour adds additional fiber, although you can substitute for a gluten-free alternative. You can even freeze these pancakes and reheat them for a super quick weekday breakfast option! We recommend serving with maple syrup, greek yogurt or even a side of strawberries!
