→ Fresh Taco Fillings
09 -
1 cup fresh blueberries
10 -
1 cup fresh raspberries
11 -
1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
12 -
1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
13 -
⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
14 -
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. While it's warming up, preheat your oven to 250°F to keep the finished pancakes warm and soft.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Give everything a good whisk to blend evenly.
03 -
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
04 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't worry about a few lumps - overmixing will make tough pancakes.
05 -
Lightly spray your heated griddle with cooking spray. Using a ¼ cup measure, pour batter onto the griddle. Cook for 30-60 seconds until you see bubbles forming around the edges, then flip carefully. Cook the other side for another 30-60 seconds until golden brown.
06 -
Transfer each finished pancake to an oven-safe plate and keep them warm in the preheated oven while you cook the remaining batter.
07 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each burst until smooth and melted. This usually takes 2-3 intervals.
08 -
Take a warm pancake and spread a generous spoonful of Greek yogurt down the center. Top with your choice of fresh berries, then drizzle with the melted chocolate. Gently fold or roll the pancake and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Be extra careful when melting chocolate - it burns easily! Stir for a full 45-60 seconds after each microwave burst. If it becomes grainy or hard, it's burned and needs to be discarded.
02 -
Feel free to swap in your favorite fruits like bananas, kiwi, peaches, or blackberries. For harder fruits like apples or pears, slice them very thin or chop into small pieces.

To make this recipe vegan-friendly, replace the egg with 2 tablespoons of applesauce and use plant-based milk and yogurt alternatives.
