Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes

  • ½ cup gluten-free oat flour can substitute with whole wheat, all-purpose, or white flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup vanilla Greek yogurt dairy-free, if necessary
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Greek Yogurt Chocolate Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • Milk of choice as needed

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, sea salt, and cocoa powder until evenly combined.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring continuously. The batter will be thick.
  • Preheat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Once hot, spoon portions of the batter onto the pan to form pancakes.
  • Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown.
  • For the chocolate sauce, mix Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and maple syrup in a bowl. Stir well until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of milk until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Layer the warm pancakes with the chocolate sauce and enjoy!

Notes

  • Using all-purpose or self-rising flour will make the pancakes fluffier.
  • If using unsweetened Greek yogurt in the batter, the pancakes will have a more neutral sweetness.
  • Swap vanilla yogurt for plain and replace maple syrup with a sugar-free alternative for a lower-sugar option.
