Make light, airy, and high-protein pancakes using Greek yogurt. This easy recipe delivers incredible fluffiness for a satisfying, healthy breakfast in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon 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 large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate medium 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. You know 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.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This allows the baking powder to activate.
  • If you want a hint of citrus, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the wet ingredients for a tangy yogurt pancake flavor.
  • To boost the protein content further, use an extra egg white or substitute half the flour with protein powder (adjust liquid slightly if needed).
