Make light, airy, and protein-packed pancakes using Greek yogurt. This easy recipe delivers fluffy texture and is perfect for a quick, nutritious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Stir in the melted butter or oil.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • To make Lemon Greek Yogurt Pancakes, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the wet ingredients.
  • For Blueberry Yogurt Pancakes, gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries after mixing the batter.
  • If you want higher protein, substitute half the flour with whey protein powder (adjust liquid slightly if needed).
