You need these Greek Yogurt Pancakes for a light, airy, and protein-packed breakfast. This easy recipe delivers the fluffiest texture and is ready fast for your busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 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% works best for texture)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 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, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. Stir in the melted butter or oil.
  4. Rest the batter: Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This helps the baking powder activate, leading to lighter pancakes.
  5. Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. 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. Serve immediately: Flip and cook the second side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve your fluffy Greek Yogurt Pancakes hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra tang, use plain Greek yogurt without added sweeteners.
  • If you want Blueberry Yogurt Pancakes, gently fold 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter right before cooking.
  • To achieve the lightest, airiest pancakes, do not stir the batter after the initial mix.
  • For a Lemon Breakfast Recipe variation, add the zest of one lemon to the wet ingredients.
