Make light, airy, and high-protein Greek yogurt pancakes from scratch. This easy recipe delivers fluffy texture and is ready in under 20 minutes for a healthy 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 (any kind)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg until light. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and reduces fluffiness.
  4. Stir in the melted butter or oil.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when 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, 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.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If you want a slight lemon flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the wet ingredients.
  • To make this a Blueberry Yogurt Pancake recipe, gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries after mixing the batter.
  • Use whole milk for the richest flavor and texture.
