Make light, airy, and protein-packed pancakes using Greek yogurt. This recipe delivers a delicious, healthy breakfast that is quick to prepare and guaranteed to earn you some kitchen kudos.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 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 kind)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This is your dry mix.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix them together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine and help keep the pancakes light.
  4. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of melted butter or oil.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. You want the surface hot enough that a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. 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.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Give yourself a high-five for making such a delicious, high-protein breakfast!

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This allows the baking powder to activate fully.
  • If you want Lemon Greek Yogurt Pancakes, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the wet ingredients.
  • For Blueberry Yogurt Pancakes, gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries after mixing the batter.
  • This recipe is a great base for a quick breakfast; feel free to add cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg for warmth.
