Description
Deliciously fluffy pancakes made with Greek yogurt for added protein and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup milk (or enough to thin the batter slightly, if needed)
- Butter or oil, for greasing the skillet
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. This helps evenly distribute the leavening agents so your pancakes rise beautifully.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. The mixture will be thick and creamy. Add the milk a little at a time just until the batter loosens slightly—think of a thick cake batter consistency.
- Fold wet into dry: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix—some small lumps are totally fine. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter if it’s thick. Cook for about 2–3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy: Stack the pancakes high and serve warm with your favorite toppings—maple syrup, a spoonful of Greek yogurt, fresh berries, or even a smear of nut butter.
Notes
- Ensure not to overmix the batter for fluffy pancakes.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream or regular yogurt.
