Oatmeal-Yogurt Pancakes with Blackberry Crush

These pancakes were pretty darn delicious.  If you are willing to spend some extra time making these, its well worth it.  They have oats and greek yogurt in them!  I wouldn’t call these healthy….  but different!  This recipe is from the lovely cookbook, The Newlywed Cookbook by Sarah Copeland.  You can find it here .  Also check out Sarah’s amazing blog here! 

From The Newlywed Cookbook

Blackberry Crush

• 2 cups of fresh blackberries
• 1/4 cup raw sugar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup

Pancakes

• 1 + 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup rolled oats
• 2 tbs sugar
• 1 + 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 heaping tsp baking soda
• 1/4 sea salt
• 1 cup greek yogurt, plus more for garnish
• 1 cup milk (I used 1%)
• 4 tbs unsalted buter, melted, plus more for the griddle/pan
• 2 large eggs

To Make The Blackberry Crush Topping:

In a large enough bowl, combine the berries and sugar and crush them together with a fork.  Strain the juice into a small pot and set aside the berries. Heat the juice over medium heat and simmer, until it is thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.  Remove from the heat and add the maple syrup.  Let it cool slightly, then pour over the blackberries and mix together.  Set aside for now.

To Make the Pancakes:

Whisk together the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, melted butter, and eggs.  Make a well in the dry ingredients and whisk in the wet ingredients until well combined.  The batter should be thick with bubbles on the surface.  I don’t think I need to explain the rest, everyone knows how to make pancakes right?  I used my griddle which is amazing, no more trying to flip them in a pan.  Once your pancakes are ready, stack em up and add some more yogurt if you like, or just pour on some blackberry/syrup topping.  Enjoy!
