Discover the secret to incredibly light, airy, and high-protein pancakes using Greek yogurt. This easy recipe delivers a delicious, satisfying breakfast in minutes.

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% recommended for texture)
  • 3/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This dry mix is your foundation for fluffiness.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined. A few lumps are fine; overmixing develops gluten and makes pancakes tough.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate, which helps create those light and airy bubbles.
  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 form on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. This is a quick breakfast recipe you will want to repeat.

Notes

  • For extra tang, use plain Greek yogurt. For a slightly richer flavor, use whole milk yogurt.
  • To achieve maximum fluffiness, do not overmix the batter. Stop mixing as soon as the dry streaks disappear.
  • If you want to add blueberries or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter right before cooking, or sprinkle them onto the raw side of the pancake immediately after pouring onto the griddle.
  • This recipe is a great base for healthy breakfast ideas; try adding a dash of cinnamon for a warm flavor.
