I am always trying to stay on top of recent food trends and try them out in my own kitchen. This time it is pancake cupcakes. I mean who doesn't want a cupcake for breakfast?! I usually top my pancakes and waffles with greek yogurt in place of some of the maple syrup for sweetness and protein. So when I saw a way to make greek yogurt frosting on healthy aperature, I had to give it a try! By straining out the liquid overnight you get a thicker, creamier yogurt that spreads like frosting.

As many of you know my favorite combo is banana, peanut butter and chocolate so I topped the banana pancakes with chocolate chips and peanut butter drizzle. However, you can top these off whatever way you like. They came out perfectly moist and delicious and can be enjoyed just about anytime of day! |

These are adorable, and one of my favorite meals is banana pancakes! And I can't help but start singing Jack Johnson in my head whenever I hear banana pancakes. :)
