Ingredients

For the Pancake Batter

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup graham crackers, crushed
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp lime zest (from 1 lime)

For the Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Lime zest to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a medium-large bowl, combine almond milk, Greek yogurt, and fresh lime juice. Allow the mixture to rest for a few minutes so it thickens to a creamy consistency.
  2. Crush Graham Crackers: Finely crush the graham crackers to incorporate a pie crust-like crunch into the pancakes.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, crushed graham crackers, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  4. Preheat Griddle: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on the surface, indicating proper temperature.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk melted and cooled coconut oil and eggs into the wet mixture, then stir in the lime zest for aromatic flavor.
  6. Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients in thirds to the wet mixture, gently stirring each time until the batter is thick and slightly lumpy but well combined.
  7. Cook Pancakes: Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot, lightly greased griddle. Cook until bubbles appear and begin to pop on the surface.
  8. Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake and cook until the other side is golden brown. Repeat until all batter is cooked.
  9. Whip Cream: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lime zest.
  10. Serve: Dollop whipped cream on top of the warm pancakes and sprinkle with additional crushed graham crackers for garnish and added texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice and zest for the best vibrant citrus flavor.
  • Make sure the coconut oil is cooled before adding to prevent cooking the eggs prematurely.
  • Resting the batter briefly helps the pancakes become fluffier.
  • The whipped cream can be sweetened to taste or flavored with extra vanilla if preferred.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use coconut cream for the topping.
