Make light, airy, and protein-packed pancakes using Greek yogurt. This easy recipe delivers a fluffy texture perfect 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 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 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, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. 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 makes pancakes tough.
  4. Stir in the melted butter or oil.
  5. 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. 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.
  7. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If you want a tangy flavor boost, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the wet ingredients.
  • To make these Blueberry Yogurt Pancakes, gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries after mixing the batter.
  • This recipe makes about 8 medium pancakes.
