½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt

👩🏽🍳 How to Make Them
Mix your dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, and milk until smooth.
Bring it all together: Pour the wet mix into the dry and stir gently — don’t overmix! The batter will be thick and fluffy.
Cook your pancakes:
Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat with a light coat of oil or butter.
Drop about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve and enjoy: Stack them high, drizzle with warm maple syrup, and top with fresh berries or even a spoonful of Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost.
