These are very easy to prepare, and the texture is wonderful - these came out so fluffy! When eaten plain, I did notice a tangy after taste from the yogurt (perhaps the brand I used?), but served with some sort of topping, it worked great. We tried it two ways - one sweet with honey topping, and the other was savoury, topped with chicken tinga, sour cream, pico de gallo, and green onions. Thanks for sharing!

Yumm! I fixed these for myself one morning while fixing pancakes for my family. I didn't have any plain yogurt, so I used vanilla ff yogurt, and only added about half of the splenda. I also added about a tsp of salt. Hubby and I both LOVED them! We dipped them in some sugar free syrup. Very filling and delicious!
