Make light, airy, and protein-packed Greek yogurt pancakes from scratch. This easy recipe delivers fluffy texture and a satisfying breakfast in under 20 minutes.

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 (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, sugar, and salt.
  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 results in tough pancakes.
  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 per side, 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 fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If you want Lemon Greek Yogurt Pancakes, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
  • For Blueberry Yogurt Pancakes, gently fold 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter just before cooking.
  • This recipe makes about 8 medium pancakes.
