Discover the secret to incredibly light, airy, and high-protein pancakes using Greek yogurt. This easy recipe delivers a perfect texture every time for a satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This mixes the dry components.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. This creates the wet base.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and reduces fluffiness.
  4. Heat a lightly buttered griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  5. 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.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings like fresh berries or maple syrup.

Notes

  • For extra tanginess, use plain Greek yogurt without added sugar.
  • To achieve maximum fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing before cooking.
  • If you want to add blueberries or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter right before cooking, or sprinkle them onto the uncooked side of the pancake immediately after pouring onto the griddle.
