Make light, airy, and high-protein Greek yogurt pancakes from scratch. 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 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix them well.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. This step is key for light and airy pancakes.
  4. Rest the batter: Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate, helping the pancakes become fluffy.
  5. Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil. You know the pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Pour about 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 and finish: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately: Serve your fluffy Greek yogurt pancakes hot with your favorite toppings like fresh berries or maple syrup.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, separate the eggs. Whisk the yolks with the wet ingredients, and whip the egg whites to soft peaks before gently folding them into the final batter.
  • If you want a tangy flavor boost, use lemon zest in the batter. This works well with the Greek yogurt base.
  • This recipe makes great use of Greek yogurt, which adds protein without needing protein powder.
