Greek Yogurt Pancakes

I've been a little obsessed with Greek yogurt lately. I started buying it to mix into my morning smoothie with frozen fruit, almond milk, and kale. Then I discovered it was pretty handy to have on hand for use in recipes that called for sour cream or mayonnaise. I cleaned out the fridge the other day and had four containers in varying degrees of fullness.

Perhaps this speaks more to me being a total space cadet at the grocery store than having a yogurt obsession.

Anyway, in an effort to use up some of my collection I went searching on Pinterest for Greek yogurt recipes. And with my husband traveling on business, I was already halfway to breakfast-for-dinner for me and the kids.

Enter THE pancake.

The gorgeous pictures grabbed me right away, but the delicious recipe is the reason I can't stop thinking about these pancakes. You must try. And if you are a pancake connoisseur like me, you'll be wanting to make room in the fridge for some yogurt.
