Short Stack of Fluffy Yogurt Pancakes

I am very much a breakfast person. When people say, "Oh, I just don't eat breakfast," I don't get that. How can you not eat breakfast? I wake up and one of my first thoughts in my mind is what's for breakfast?

I like breakfast foods, too. I could eat breakfast for every meal, but then people would probably think I'm more nuts than I am. So I made a quick short stack of pancakes for breakfast this morning. My other meals today will be totally normal and non-breakfasty, I promise.

I got the recipe for these yogurt pancakes on food.com and it is it has a neat feature where you can modify it to make whatever serving you need/want. I made 1 serving, which is 3 pancakes. Oh, and these are pretty healthy for you and stuff.

Here's what you need:



1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup yogurt (I used plain Greek yogurt, but flavored yogurt would rock)
1/4 cup milk (I used almond milk)
1/2 beaten egg (or use an egg white)

Melt butter for a few seconds in the microwave, mix in other wet ingredients. Mix flour, salt and baking powder and add to wet ingredients until combined. I used a 1/3 c measuring cup to plop my pancakes in the pan. Do it however you want. Oh, by the way. I need a griddle. It would be so much easier to flip pancakes on a griddle. If you have one, use it. Flip the pancakes when edges are bubbly and you peek under the pancake and see a golden color.

Enjoy with whatever sides you choose. Here's what I had:


Don't judge my non-matching dishes. I'm cool with it.

A Safe Amount of Cookies

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just need a cookie. It is a biological need. I swear.

I like a fresh cookie out of the oven, but sometimes I don’t want to make a whole slew of cookies. Most cookie recipes make 2 dozen or so. I do have a recipe that makes a dozen, but a dozen cookies hanging around the house does not seem like the best plan of action. 12 cookies do not look good on my waistline. 4 cookies seem more manageable. I found this recipe yesterday from Bakergirl and knew what I had to do.

4 Cookies

1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon flour
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
A pinch of salt
2 tablespoons Smart Butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon beaten egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 regular sized package of M+Ms (or use 1/4 cup of any add in you like)

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Mix together the butter and brown sugar. Add the tablespoon of beaten egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until just combined. Stir in the M+Ms.

Roll dough into four cookie balls (or use your cookie scoop) and place them on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

These cookies were all at once chewy, fluffy and crispy. They really hit the spot. You should make them.


Oh, just so you know, I ate one cookie (not all four!) and gave the remaining 3 to my husband.
