Make light, airy, and high-protein Greek yogurt pancakes from scratch. This easy recipe delivers a fluffy texture 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)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray or butter 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. Mix gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and results in tough pancakes.
  4. Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook the second side until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fresh berries.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If you want Lemon Greek Yogurt Pancakes, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
  • To make Blueberry Yogurt Pancakes, gently fold 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries into the finished batter just before cooking.
  • This recipe uses Greek yogurt for a protein boost, making it a great Healthy Breakfast Idea.
