Make light, airy, and protein-rich pancakes using Greek yogurt for a satisfying and quick 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 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk them together.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, Greek yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and reduces fluffiness.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If you want Blueberry Yogurt Pancakes, gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries after mixing the batter.
  • For a Lemon Breakfast Recipe flavor, add the zest of one lemon to the wet ingredients.
