  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, olive oil (or melted butter), and Greek yogurt until well combined.
