Instructions

Making these pancakes is as easy as mixing, cooking, and enjoying! With just one bowl and a few simple steps, you’ll have golden, fluffy pancakes ready in minutes. Whether you’re cooking on a griddle or a stovetop pan, follow these steps for the perfect stack every time.

1. Step 1: Mix the Batter – In a bowl, or even a blender, mix together the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring until just combined. The batter will be thick!

2. Step 2: Preheat Cooking Surface – Heat a pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or nonstick spray.

3. Step 3: Cook the Pancakes – Pour batter onto the pan, either traditionally, or make fun shapes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

4. Step 4: Serve and Enjoy – Stack them up or try making a Tic, Tac, Toe game out of them.

Hint: If the batter feels too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it up. If it’s too runny, sprinkle in a little extra flour.
