We always make these pancakes when my cousin Karen comes for the weekend. After we all start the day with a morning workout, we come back and reward ourselves with a plate of pancakes and yogurt. She’s also become a big lemon yogurt convert!! Syrup optional.

The Fixings

1 ¾ c whole wheat flour

1/3 c oats (old fashioned or quick rolled)

1/3 c cornmeal

1 ½ tbsp sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

½ tsp baking soda

1 ½ c milk or almond milk

4 tbsp unsalted butter

¼ c honey (local if possible)

3 large eggs

1/4 – ½ tsp lemon zest (we are lemon freaks so we add 1/2 tsp )

How To:

Preheat pan or griddle

Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl

Whisk wet ingredients in a separate bowl

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently whisk together

Mix until combined (don’t over do it!!)

While the pancakes cook you can whip up the lemon yogurt. Mix together……….

1 c plain yogurt (Astro Balkan is our preferred gelatin free choice)

2 tsp honey

½ tsp lemon zest

Place a bit of the tasty lemon yogurt atop your modest mountain of pancakes

Note: if you’re feeling kinda rushed, Liberte makes a great lemon yogurt
