• 1 cup greek yoghurt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 eggs

Cream cheese frosting;

• 2 tbsp low fat cream cheese

1. Place all pancake ingredients into a large bowl and mix well.
2. Place a frypan on low-medium heat. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan at a time and cook pancakes until golden brown on both sides. Mixture should make 4-6 pancakes.

4. While pancakes are cooking, place all cream cheese frosting ingredients into a small bowl and mix well until its combined. Set aside.
5. Once pancakes are cooked, serve with a nice drizzle of the frosting. I like to add a drizzle of maple syrup and some crushed walnuts too! Enjoy!
