Healthy Peaches and Cream Pancakes

Healthy Peaches and Cream Pancakes made with whole grains, fresh peaches, and greek yogurt are the perfect healthy breakfast for a lazy summer weekend! 

Growing up, my mom always made pancakes on the weekends. We loved our Saturday pancakes. So much that my husband and I have adopted the tradition and now we make pancakes every Saturday, too.

If we were lucky during the summer and my mom had bought fresh peaches at the store, or better yet, if we stopped at the peach stand on the way to our lake house, my mom would make her super delicious peach pancakes. She would cook the peaches into a soft, syrup-like topping and stack it in between each pancake so that every bite was peachy heaven. They were amazing.

Now that it is peach season, I knew I had to recreate my mom’s amazing peach pancakes (with a healthy twist, of course).  So I stocked up on fresh summer peaches and whipped up a batch of these healthy peaches and cream pancakes to share with you all!

These healthy peaches and cream pancakes have the same decadent taste as I always remembered, but with healthy whole grain flour, hardly any sugar (or none at all if you’d like), and creamy greek yogurt for added protein! They are so delicious that you would never guess that they are secretly good for you! Of course, you have to watch the syrup, since that’s where the sugar and calories hide. But for a weekend treat, that’s okay, right?

Feel free to make these however they work for you. If you have frozen sliced peaches, that perfectly fine! And you can sub a gluten-free flour to make them fit into a gluten-free diet. Don’t do dairy? That’s okay, too! You can use soy or coconut yogurt, or just leave it out altogether! Just don’t skimp on those delicious peaches in between each pancake, because they are just so darn good!
