Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
Total Time: 20–22 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + pinch salt)
1 large egg
1–2 tablespoons zero-calorie sweetener (or 1 tablespoon honey, optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Cooking spray (for pan)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and sweetener until smooth.
Add flour (and baking powder if using all-purpose flour) and mix until a thick batter forms.
Gently fold in lemon zest and blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Spoon small portions of batter onto the pan to form pancakes.
Cook for 2–3 minutes on one side until bubbles appear, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes.
Remove and serve warm with extra blueberries or a light drizzle of syrup if desired.

Notes

Fat-free Greek yogurt keeps the recipe low in calories and high in protein.
Frozen blueberries can be used directly without thawing.
Batter will be thick—this helps create fluffy pancakes.

Tips for Success

Do not overmix the batter; it can make pancakes dense.
Use a non-stick pan to avoid extra oil.
Cook on medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
Let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
