Ingredients for Greek Yogurt Pancakes

1 tbsp sugar (or sweetener of your choice)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
3/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk (adjust for consistency)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Add-Ins:
Blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts
For Cooking:
Butter or oil for greasing the pan
How to Make Greek Yogurt Pancakes
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Add milk as needed to adjust the consistency to a thick, pourable batter.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. If using add-ins like blueberries, sprinkle them onto the pancakes now.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite toppings: fresh fruit, syrup, honey, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
💡 Tips for Perfect Pancakes
Keep Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a warm oven (200°F/90°C) while you finish the batch.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can result in dense pancakes. Stir until the ingredients are just combined.
Low and Slow: Cook over medium heat to ensure the pancakes cook through without burning.
Serving Suggestions
Pair these pancakes with a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent treat, or keep it light with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Add a sprinkle of granola or chopped nuts for extra texture.
