# List of ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
07 - 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)

→ For Cooking
12 - Butter or oil for greasing the pan
# Directions:
01 - Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are acceptable.
04 - Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them.
05 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
06 - Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
07 - Carefully flip pancakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
08 - Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary between batches.
09 - Serve warm with maple syrup, additional fresh blueberries, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
