📋 Ingredients List:
For the Pancakes:
- 2/3 cup Gold Medal self-rising flour
- 1 cup nonfat plain or Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice or 1/8 tsp lemon extract
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 egg
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar substitute (like Stevia or Monk Fruit)
- 1 1/4 cups fresh or thawed blueberries, divided
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Whip the Egg Whites
- In a clean bowl, beat the 2 egg whites using a hand mixer until they reach a foamy, airy consistency. Set aside.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
- In another large bowl, combine the flour, yogurt, lemon juice (or extract), water, whole egg, sugar substitute, and whisk until smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Fold and Add Blueberries
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula.
- Carefully fold in 3/4 cup of the blueberries, reserving the rest for topping or serving.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray.
- Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop batter onto the skillet, forming 4-inch pancakes.
- Cook for 2–4 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook another 2–4 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through.
Step 5: Serve
- Serve warm, topped with reserved blueberries and optional sugar-free syrup or Greek yogurt.
💡 Flavor Tips & Customizations:
- Extra lemony: Add lemon zest to the batter for more zing.
- Different fruit: Swap blueberries for raspberries or chopped strawberries.
- Protein boost: Use protein-rich Greek yogurt.
- Make it a meal: Serve with a side of scrambled egg whites or turkey bacon.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions:
- Top with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
- Drizzle with sugar-free maple syrup.
- Serve with fresh fruit or a smoothie for a complete breakfast.
❄️ Storage & Reheat Tips:
- Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Freeze pancakes individually with parchment paper between each layer for up to 1 month.
- Reheat: Microwave for 30–60 seconds or reheat on a non-stick skillet.
❓ FAQs:
Q: Can I use frozen blueberries?
A: Yes, just make sure they are thawed and drained well to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
Q: Can I use all egg whites instead of whole eggs?
A: Yes, you can replace the whole egg with two more egg whites for even fewer points.
Q: Do I need self-rising flour?
A: Yes, it’s essential for fluffiness. If you don’t have any, you can make your own by combining 2/3 cup all-purpose flour with 1 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt.
