Fluffy ‘Greek Yogurt’ Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes!

Yum!  Fluffy ‘Greek Yogurt’ Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes!

These fluffy lovelies are dedicated to my dear friend & BFF, Sarah.

It’s standard protocol, when Sarah happens to get a girls night out on the town, which is not very often, she likes to unwind like most of us do right? 

Mind you, she’s crazy busy!  She’s got 3 kids, a hubby, a dog, a full time job and is also attending school to get her masters, among trying to rule the world.  So yea…it’s nice to unwind once in a while, right?  She’s fierce, devoted to her family and one of the funniest ladies I know. She’s one of my heroes!  Luv your face Sarah!  

So with that being said, at some point of the evening, after the alchohol has done it’s damage, it’s guaranteed there will be the start of random texts, and it’s jumbled up texts that you have to decipher, which after deciphered is this, ‘Make me some blueberry pancakes, B*tch!‘   (I am pretty sure this came from a movie or some funny story she came up with where she got this phrase from, but it has stuck for many years and we get a big kick out of it, when it happens.)  Crazy-iness!!

   So, Sarah?  These fluffy blueberry pancakes are for you my dear!  I love you! 🙂  And they were excellent!! You’re welcome! 

So, a little ditty about these pancakes!  There are two ingredients that make these pancakes so fluffy and light. I love using Greek yogurt in anything I can when I am preparing food.   It helps to thicken up the batter, which leaves you with the lightest, fluffiest pancakes. 

The other ingredient buttermilk adds richness and tanginess and it is slightly acidic, so when it’s mixed with baking powder, the pancakes rise and don’t break down.  The result is a tender, fluffy pancake that melts in your mouth. O Hello?!  Yes, blueberry pancake, you ARE talking to me and I’m eating you up B*tch!  

Here’s the recipe!! Enjoy!

Notes

To make them healthier, you could use whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour. They add more nutrients and fiber, but still have the fluffy texture of refined flour.
