Ingredients:

- 1 Tbsp sugar plus 1/2 cup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups plain yogurt
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp canola oil
- 4 cups fresh raspberries (or use frozen, thawed berries)
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 sliced banana
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, beat yogurt, egg, and oil until creamy. Add to the flour mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Heat a nonstick griddle on medium until very hot. Drop large spoonfuls of batter onto the griddle.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, flipping once, until done.
