Description

Make light, airy, and high-protein pancakes using Greek yogurt for a satisfying breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)


Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, melted butter or oil, and sugar until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are acceptable for fluffiness.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a non-stick spray or a small amount of butter on the pan for cooking.
  • For Blueberry Yogurt Pancakes, gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries after mixing the batter.
  • For a Lemon Breakfast Recipe variation, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the wet ingredients.
