Why are pancakes so yum?
Maybe because similar to cake, you can make a million versions and they always taste incredible. Sweet, savory, melt-in-your mouth, hearty, and always lovely.
These particular pancakes were actually a happy accident. Last weekend I was babysitting and was experimenting with different pancake recipes for the kids. After cooking them, I realized that I had forgotten to add the egg to the batter! But no worries, these pancakes totally work without any eggs… they’re fluffy, moist, tender, and slightly sweet.
I love recipe success.
I also love these two. Adorbs.
These whole wheat pancakes are made with vanilla yogurt, applesauce and mini pancakes. I used a blended Greek Vanilla yogurt, but I’m certain that any yogurt would work well.
You can change up the ingredients, too! Add in some coconut or berries, use a different flavor of yogurt for a hint of sweetness. Make them your own.
I prefer mine with dark chocolate chips and topped with creamy peanut butter and a drizzle of maple syrup. HEAVEN ON EARTH.
Make them this weekend for yourself or your kids! Stick the extra pancakes in the freezer to reheat throughout the week.
Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or soy, skim, coconut)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- coconut oil or nonstick spray, for cooking
Instructions

- In a separate medium bowl, combine yogurt, applesauce, milk and vanilla and stir until smooth. Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly coat with coconut oil or nonstick cooking spray. Drop 2-3 tablespoons (a bit less than 1/4 cup) of pancake batter into pan to make mini pancakes. Add a few chocolate chips to each. Cook until bubbles appear on top, about 2 minutes. Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on underside, 2 minutes. Wipe skillet clean and repeat with more oil and remaining batter.

I’m so into making fun pancakes lately and I am all over the greek yogurt and applesauce in these! Did zucchini this morning and no one noticed, so these should go over amazingly well! Can’t wait to try!
These look like the perfect little pancakes! Gotta love when a recipe is an amazing accident! 🙂
Greek yogurt combined with baking powder makes for super fluffy pancakes. I’ve made a million flavor versions but have never experimented with an egg-free batter. I can’t wait to try them. Thanks! 🙂
Oh, these pancakes look perfect!!
Made these this weekend…for both breakfast and dinner as advised 🙂 Delish for both meals. Definitely keep the pancakes mini, a few of my bigger pancakes were getting soggy centers. Will make these a weekend breakfast staple.
