Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

2 large eggs
1 cup nonfat Greek vanilla-flavored yogurt
1 cup Kodiak pancake mix or another favorite pancake mix
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1½ cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (mixed berries can be used if chopped into small pieces)

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and lightly mist it with nonstick oil spray for easy cleanup.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the Greek yogurt and whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the pancake mix evenly over the wet mixture. Then add the baking powder and kosher salt on top of the flour and lightly mix them into the dry flour ingredients before stirring everything together gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
Incorporate Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries with care, ensuring they remain intact and the batter isn’t overworked.
Portion the Batter: Spray a ⅓ cup measuring scoop with nonstick spray to prevent sticking. Use the scoop to drop equal portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet. For an appealing finish, press a few extra blueberries on top of each pastry.
Bake Pastries: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly jiggly, indicating they are baked through but moist.
Cool Pastries: Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes. Cooling is crucial as it allows the pastries to firm up to the perfect texture and helps prevent sticking.

Notes

If using plain Greek yogurt instead of vanilla-flavored, add a drizzle of maple syrup and a dash of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients for added sweetness and flavor.
Any standard pancake mix can be swapped in for the Kodiak pancake mix. For gluten-free options, choose a gluten-free pancake mix or flour blend suitable for baking.
Using thicker Greek yogurt and draining off any excess liquid will help maintain the right batter consistency.
Ensure berries are small pieces if using mixed berries for even distribution throughout the pastries.
