Drizzled with a creamy yogurt icing, they’re indulgent yet nourishing, and sure to become a new favorite.

1. 1
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, lactose-free Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or coconut sugar), and vanilla extract until smooth.
2. 2
   Fold in the gluten-free flour and baking powder until just combined. Do not overmix — a few small lumps are fine.
3. 3
   In a small bowl, mix melted butter (or coconut oil), coconut sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Transfer to a small zip-top bag and snip a tiny hole in one corner (or use a piping bag).
4. 4
   Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease if needed. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Once slightly set, pipe a swirl of the cinnamon mixture on top of each pancake. Cook for about 2–3 minutes, then carefully flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
5. 5
   In a small bowl, stir together the lactose-free Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
6. 6
   Drizzle the warm pancakes with the yogurt icing and enjoy immediately!
