Sharing is caring!

Who doesn’t love pancakes!! My Yoghurt pancakes with passionfruit and coconut are so pretty on the plate, but guess what they are good for you too!

Hands down this is one of my favourite pancake recipes and here is why!

• They are so easy to whip up
• They taste AMAZING!!
• A healthy alternative to the usual sugar packed pancake recipes out there
• A big hit with the kids

Do I need to go on…

I love cooking with yoghurt as it adds texture and those tangy notes. Its also a much healthier alternative to heavy creams. Natural yoghurt can also be used in place of buttermilk and sour cream in your cakes and pancakes. The yoghurt in these pancakes leaves you with fluffy, soft and moist pancakes.

We love having pancakes on Sunday mornings when we have a bit more time to have breakfast as a family. Weekdays for us resemble chaos and thats an understatement. With three kids and two working parents plus my food blog and Joe’s electrical business life can get pretty hectic.

This recipe is great to get the kids involved as the ingredients are minimal and the steps are easy to follow. with close supervision I had Jamie, my 5 year old flipping the pancakes on his own.

What you will need

• Greek style yoghurt make sure its plain
• Eggs
• Butter
• Honey to replace the sugar and add sweetness
• Vanilla bean paste: I use Queen organic vanilla bean paste, not the essence. It makes a huge difference and I love that you can see the tiny specs of the vanilla bean.
• All purpose plain Flour
• Bicarb soda: This is where the magic happens! the yoghurt helps to activate the bicarb soda resulting in lighter, fluffier pancakes!
• Baking powder to help the pancakes to rise up

To Serve

• Mango yoghurt: We are obsessed with The Collective natural probiotic yoghurt. Its packed full of live cultures and its not too sweet.
• Passionfruit pulp: gives a tartness and adds a lovely texture
• Sliced banana
• shredded coconut

The recipe greedily satisfies the 5 of us so its perfect for a family with hungry toddlers. (And parents) So grab a bowl and a whisk and get these yoghurt pancakes with passionfruit and coconut on your breakfast table!
