Whole-wheat Yogurt Pancakes

Some nights, the comfort of pancakes is all we really want for dinner. But many pancake recipes are heavy on the butter and use plain flour, whereas I keep trying to think of ways for us to get more fibre and less fat in our diets. So in more and more recipes, I am trying to replace white flour with whole-wheat or spelt or other types. And for moistness, I used low-fat yogurt instead of relying on too much butter or milk.

We ate these with poached eggs, but they’d also be good with sliced banana or other fruit.

Ingredients:
3 tbsp butter
1 cup flour
½ cup whole-wheat flour (or spelt flour)
2 tbsp sugar
1½ tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
a pinch of salt
1½ cups yogurt
¼ cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
oil
agave or honey to serve with it

Instructions:
1. Melt the butter.
2. In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.
3. Add the yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla to the butter. Mix well.
4. Warm oil over medium heat in a frying pan.
5. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, then pour tablespoonfuls into the pan. Brown the pancakes on both sides.
6. Serve with agave or honey.
