Make light, airy, and protein-packed pancakes using Greek yogurt. This easy recipe delivers a delicious, nutritious breakfast ready in minutes.

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 (any type)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil (for batter)
  • Oil or butter for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Whisk in the melted butter or oil.
  3. Combine batters: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and results in tough pancakes.
  4. Heat griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with oil or butter.
  5. Cook pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. 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.
  6. Serve immediately: Serve your fluffy greek yogurt pancakes hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For lemon flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the wet ingredients.
  • Add 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries to the batter just before cooking for blueberry greek yogurt pancakes.
  • If you are looking for quick breakfast ideas that support your fitness goals, these protein-packed pancakes are a good alternative to heavy meals often associated with meal planning.
  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
