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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, Greek yogurt, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and results in tough pancakes.
  4. Add fat: Stir in the melted butter or oil.
  5. Heat griddle: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
  6. Cook pancakes: 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. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately: Stack the pancakes and serve 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 prefer a tangier flavor, use plain Greek yogurt without added sugar.
  • To make this a Lemon Greek Yogurt Pancake, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the wet ingredients.
  • For a quick breakfast, you can prepare the batter the night before and store it covered in the refrigerator. You may need to add a splash of milk to thin it slightly before cooking.
