Make light, airy, and protein-packed pancakes using Greek yogurt. This easy recipe delivers fluffy pancakes perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast.

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 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 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.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix them together with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and makes pancakes tough.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You know it is time to flip when 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, like fresh berries or maple syrup.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If you want a slight tang, use plain Greek yogurt. For a sweeter flavor, use vanilla Greek yogurt.
  • This recipe is a great base for adding mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips; fold them in gently at the very end.
