Neapolitan Pancakes and Strawberry Yogurt Sauce

Ingredients

• FOR THE PANCAKES:
• ⅓ cups Vanilla Greek Yogurt
• 2 whole Egg Whites
• ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• ⅓ cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
• 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
• ½ teaspoons Sugar
• 1 dash Salt
• ¾ Tablespoons Mini Chocolate Chips
• FOR THE YOGURT SAUCE:
• 3 Tablespoons Vanilla Yogurt
• 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
• 12 Tablespoons Strawberry Jam (I Used My Strawberry Quick Jam Recipe)

Preparation Instructions

For the pancakes:

Mix together the yogurt, egg whites and vanilla extract in a small bowl.

In a separate bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.

Combine flour mixture with the yogurt mixture and whisk till evenly mixed.

Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat. Place 1/4-cup of the batter onto the skillet and drop a few of the mini chocolate chips into the pancake batter and cook till bubbles start appearing through the top of the pancake. I flattened out my batter with the spatula so it would cook more evenly. Then flip the pancake and cook the other side. Cook them for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove the finished pancakes from the skillet onto a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

For the yogurt sauce:
Add yogurt and maple syrup into a small bowl and stir together until combined.

See my TastyKitchen recipe box for my Strawberry Quick Jam recipe, ore use store bought.

To assemble: Put one pancake on a plate. I added about 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam and a little bit of the yogurt sauce. Then top with the next pancake and repeat layers.

For fun add some whipped cream and a cherry on top!

Enjoy!
