Greek Yogurt Protein Pancakes
Delicious and fluffy pancakes made with Greek yogurt for a healthy breakfast option packed with protein.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt Use thick Greek yogurt for best results.
- 2 large eggs Can be replaced with flaxseed meal or mashed bananas for a vegan option.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- as needed Cooking spray or butter for the pan Ensure enough is used to prevent sticking.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just mixed; it’s okay if a few lumps remain.
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little cooking spray or butter to coat the pan.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (approximately 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

Notes
For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking. Experiment with toppings such as fresh fruits, nut butter, and flavored Greek yogurts.
