About the Ingredients for Peaches & Cream Buttermilk Pancakes

Cream cheese – You can use light or full fat cream cheese here.

Greek Yogurt – Looking for plain greek yogurt, you could also try Icelandic Skyr, it’s a little richer and has more protein.

Vanilla Extract – Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavour, but artificial is just fine too.

Maple syrup – Use only real maple syrup for the best flavour.

Flour – Spoon and level the flour when measuring it, otherwise you’ll wind up with dense pancakes.

Sugar – Just use plain old granulated sugar.

Baking Soda & Baking Powder – Leavens the bread, make sure they are still active so your quick bread rises.

Salt – Helps to balance all the flavours and make em shine.

Eggs – Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before starting.

Buttermilk – Make sure your buttermilk is room temperature before starting. If you don’t have any buttermilk on hand make it yourself by adding half a tbsp of lemon juice to 1/2 cup milk.

Butter – I used regular butter but unsalted is ideal.

Peaches – Fresh, local peaches are best but you can also use frozen or canned in a pinch.

How to Make Peaches & Cream Buttermilk Pancakes

Yields: 16 Pancakes | Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

2 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
¼ c. Greek yogurt
1 t. vanilla extract
¼ c. real maple syrup, divided
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 T. sugar
2 t. baking powder
½ t. baking soda
¼ t. salt
2 large eggs, whisked
2 c. buttermilk
3 T. butter, divided
1 T. vegetable oil
2 large firm peaches, pitted and sliced

Directions:

Combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and one tablespoon maple syrup in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, two tablespoons melted butter, and vegetable oil.

Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix to combine. Do not overmix. Set aside.

Melt remaining butter in a skillet set over medium heat. Add the sliced peaches and remaining maple syrup and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Heat a non-stick griddle or large well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat. Pour a scant ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook until golden brown, approximately 1 minute per side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Once the last pancakes are on the griddle, return the peaches to medium heat until heated through, approximately 2 minutes.

To serve, stack 3-4 pancakes on a plate and top with some of the warm peaches, a dollop of the vanilla cream cheese, and a drizzle of real maple syrup. Enjoy!

Notes:

Melt two tablespoons of the 3 Tbsp butter listed before combining the wet ingredients.

Give the pancakes approximately one minute to set up before flipping. They should be ready to flip once bubbles begin to appear in the batter.

Reduce heat to just below medium if pancakes become too dark before they are cooked through.

Place cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 10-15 seconds for creamier results.
