Why We Love Greek Yogurt Pancakes

  1. High Protein: Greek yogurt boosts protein content, making these healthier and more filling.
  2. Better Taste: Preferred for their flavor over traditional pancakes.
  3. Diverse Toppings: Offers a variety of delicious topping choices.
  4. Fluffy Texture: Achieved through leavening agents and Greek yogurt.
  5. Moisture Balance: The yogurt in the batter ensures moist pancakes, preventing dryness.

Ingredients

  • Flour and Cornstarch: Provide structure and soft texture to your greek yogurt pancakes.
  • Sugar, Baking Powder, and Salt: Add sweetness, fluffiness, and enhance flavor.
  • Greek Yogurt, Milk, and Eggs: Contribute to moisture, richness, and stability.
  • Vanilla Extract and Optional Flavorings (Lemon Zest/Cinnamon): Offer aromatic and distinct taste profiles.
  • Unsalted Butter: Used for cooking, it enhances flavor and aids in browning.

Quick Tip

Save drips by using a soup ladle or a 1/3 cup measure to pour out the pancake batter onto the skillet. Some people have good luck using a squirt bottle (like youโ€™d use for ketchup), too.

Greek Yogurt Pancakes

Start your day with a stack of nutritious Greek Yogurt Pancakes! Theyโ€™re packed with protein, loaded with flavor, and super easy to whip up. Filling and delicious!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: pancakes

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt full-fat vanilla honey flavor; I highly recommend Greek Gods
  • 3/4 cup whole milk plus 1โ€“3 tablespoons
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 lemon or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
  • Unsalted butter for cooking

Instructions 

  • Stir together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla. For a fun hint of flavor, add in either 1 tsp grated lemon zest or 1/2 tsp cinnamon (but not both!) Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, mixing only until just combined. Be careful to not overmix.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet or griddle over low to medium-low heat until it bubbles. Pour the pancake batter into the pan to make 3 or 4 pancakes. Cook for 2โ€“3 minutes or until bubbles appear on top and the underside is lightly browned. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1โ€“2 minutes until browned. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel, add more butter to the pan, and continue cooking pancakes until all the batter is used.
  • Serve with maple syrup or blueberry syrup (see post for recipe).
