From time to time, I like to switch up my breakfast routine especially on slow mornings when I’m craving something cozy without wanting anything too heavy. That’s exactly how these Greek Yogurt Blueberry Pancakes became a regular in my kitchen. I had a container of Greek yogurt begging to be used and a handful of fresh blueberries left over from the day before. One bowl later, I ended up with the fluffiest, tangiest, berry-studded pancakes I’d ever made. They’re hearty, protein-packed, and honestly taste like something you’d get at a weekend brunch spot.
