3 tbsp plain ‘live’ yogurt

¾ cup almond milk or milk of choice

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

2 tbsp chia seeds

For the yogurt

2 tbsp kefir yogurt

Method:

1. In a large bowl, whisk the Rich Yolk eggs, honey, yogurt and milk together, then add the flour, baking soda, salt and chia seeds and whisk to combine.

2. Melt a knob of butter in a pan over a medium-low heat, then use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop the batter out.

3. Add the batter to the pan. Cook for 1-2 mins, until it starts to bubble, then use a spatula to flip the pancake over and cook for a further 1-2 mins. Once cooked on both sides, remove from the pan and set aside, then repeat the process until all the batter is gone.
