How to Make Healthy Banana Cinnamon Yogurt Pancakes – Protein-Packed & Moist (Easy 1-Bowl Breakfast)

Step 1 — Prep & Preheat

Blend the batter: In a medium bowl whisk banana, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Sprinkle on flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; fold just until no dry streaks remain—lumps are OK.

Step 2 — Cook and Build Flavor

Preheat & grease: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low (275 °F). Lightly coat with butter or oil.

Step 3 — Finish, Taste, and Adjust

Scoop & cook: Drop ¼-cup batter per pancake; cook 2–3 min until edges set and bubbles form. Flip gently; cook 1–2 min more until centers spring back.
