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 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Mix batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and results in tough pancakes.
  4. Add fat: Stir in the melted butter or oil.
  5. Heat griddle: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. 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.
  7. Serve immediately: Serve your fluffy Greek yogurt pancakes hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, separate the egg. Whisk the yolk into the wet ingredients, and whisk the egg white until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the final batter.
  • If you want Lemon Greek Yogurt Pancakes, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the dry ingredients.
  • If you want Blueberry Yogurt Pancakes, gently fold 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter just before cooking.
  • This recipe uses simple ingredients for extraordinary meals, making it a trusted recipe you can make from scratch.
