INGREDIENTS

  • One cup of flour that self-rises
  • A single cup of Greek yogurt without fat
  • Two big egg whites
  • One tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  • Half a cup of fresh blueberries.
  • One teaspoon of lemon zest
  • One teaspoon of vanilla essence
  • Two tablespoons of stevia or another sugar substitute
  • Using cooking spray or a tiny bit of pan oil

INGREDIENT NOTES

Non-fat Greek yogurt:

  • It is creamy and moist and low in calories. Additionally, it contains protein, which makes you feel fuller.

Egg whites:

  • Bring uniformity and lightness without additional fat. They assist in rising and remaining soft in the pancakes.

Lemon juice:

  • Adds a touch of tang, which makes it more lively. Fresh lemon juice is most effective as a kick.

Lemon zest:

  • Full of citrus oils that give it a better taste than juice. A little goes a long way.

Blueberries:

  • Sweet explosions of fruit that counterpoint the sourness of lemon. Although frozen food can be utilized as long as it is warmed and dried, fresh food is preferable.

Vanilla extract:

  • Gives a warm and mild sweetness. Goes well with lemon and blueberries.

Sugar substitute:

  • Makes the pancakes sweet without an extraneous value. Select your favorite low-calorie.

Cooking spray:

  • Helps prevent sticking and enables pancakes to cook without using a lot of oil.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Mix the self-rising flour and sugar in a bowl.
  2. Combine Greek yogurt, egg whites, juice from the lemons, zest from the lemon, and vanilla in a separate bowl and stir well to smooth.
  3. The water-based components should be gently folded into the dry mixture.
  4. Avoid overmixing. A little thickness is ideal for the batter. To prevent crushing, add the blueberries & mix carefully.
  5. Over a low flame, preheat a non-stick pan or griddle.
  6. Lightly mist with cooking spray. For each pancake, add ¼ cup of batter to the skillet.
  7. Use a spoon to spread a little. Cook till bubbles appear on top, 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Cook for two more minutes after flipping, till golden brown.
  9. Serve warm with sugar-free syrup, the juice of a lemon, or more blueberries.

TIPS

  • The batter must not be overmixed; doing so will make the pancakes fluffy.
  • When frozen blueberries are used, thaw and dry them to prevent additional moisture.
  • Fry on medium heat so that the pancakes cook without getting burnt.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • To prepare meals, prepare a batch and put it in the fridge. Warm up once again in the toaster or microwave.

STORAGE INFORMATION

Fridge:

  • Store leftover pancakes in an airtight sealed box for 3 days. Recook before serving.

Freezer:

  • Place cooled pancakes in a freezer bag with parchment between them. Freeze for at least 2 months.

FAQS

Is it okay to use the entire eggs rather than egg whites?

  • Yes, but they will give me more points. The egg whites make the recipe lighter.

Do I need fresh lemons?

  • Fresh juice and zest are the best, but canned juice is an option in a crisis.

What can take the place of Greek yogurt?

  • Non-fat plain yogurt can be used, but then the texture will be somewhat smoother.

Are frozen blueberries okay?

  • Yes, but heat them and dry them so they do not streak in the batter.
