Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
4. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
