Fruit and Yogurt Pancake Tacos
Use Greek yogurt for an extra boost of protein to start your day.
Greek yogurt is high in protein, which helps to keep you fuller longer, and it packs in essential nutrients. Six ounces of Greek yogurt typically contains 14–17 grams of protein (regular yogurt has 7-8 grams). It adds creaminess and tang, too. Find out the differences between Greek and regular yogurt.
Mix and match berries, bananas, granola, chocolate chips, nut butter, fresh whipped cream, and cinnamon or powdered sugar.
Dairy and plants are the ultimate power couple that together delivers calcium, vitamin D, potassium, and fiber. Research shows plant and dairy foods can help reduce the risk for chronic diseases, too. Dairy foods are often recommended as part of plant-based diets because they contain high-quality proteins and often under-consumed nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and potassium.
Fruit and Yogurt Pancake Tacos
Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
- 2 Cups flour
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 Cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Tacos:
- 1 Cup yogurt
- 1 Cup diced fruit
- mini chocolate chips
- granola
Instructions
- WHISK together dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt). Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, COMBINE wet ingredients and stir/whisk until smooth (milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract).
- ADD wet mixture into dry mixture and whisk until just combined. The batter may be lumpy. If the batter is too thick add 1 Tablespoon milk at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
- PREHEAT a griddle over medium heat (350F). Lightly grease with butter or oil if not using a non-stick pan.
- DROP 1/4 - 1/2 cup batter for each pancake and let cook until bubbles form evenly over the pancake. FLIP and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- When pancakes are slightly cooled and not hot to the touch, FILL with yogurt, fresh berries, and toppings such as chocolate chips or granola. Drizzle with syrup or honey if desired.
Notes
- Pancakes may be made ahead and can be served cold as Fruit and Yogurt Tacos, or slightly warmed in the microwave before adding the filling and toppings. They are equally delicious served warm or cold!
- Get creative with toppings. Spread pancakes with nut butter, or sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Dust with powdered sugar, or top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
- Using lactose-free milk and yogurt is a simple swap to accommodate those who enjoy a lactose-free diet.
