Greek yogurt pancakes - featured image

These fluffy, light pancakes are made with just three ingredients—Greek yogurt, eggs, and baking powder—offering a quick, healthy breakfast option that feels indulgent without the guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: vanilla extract or cinnamon
  • Optional: honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: measure out 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs at room temperature, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder. Prepare optional flavorings if using.
  2. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk gently until slightly frothy. Add the Greek yogurt and baking powder (plus any optional ingredients) and whisk until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep pancakes tender.
  3. Preheat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of oil or butter. The pan is ready when a few drops of water sizzle on contact.
  4. Scoop about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Spread gently into a circle about 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide if needed. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, honey, or nut butter.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency. Avoid over-mixing to keep pancakes tender. Cook on medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. If pancakes brown too quickly but remain raw inside, lower the heat. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F / 95°C) if needed.
