Fluffy Greek Yogurt Pancakes are a delightful twist on classic pancakes, combining the tangy richness of Greek yogurt with a tender, light texture. Perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch, these pancakes are easy to prepare and cook quickly on the stovetop, resulting in golden-brown, soft pancakes that pair beautifully with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, syrup, or whipped cream.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 pancakes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon white sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2/3 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Pan: Preheat a large griddle or frying pan to low-medium heat to ensure even cooking of the pancakes without burning.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and white sugar until well combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the two large eggs thoroughly. Then add the plain Greek yogurt and milk, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry flour mixture using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. The batter will be somewhat lumpy, which is normal and ensures light pancakes.
  5. Prepare the Cooking Surface: Lightly grease the preheated griddle or frying pan with oil or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking while cooking.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Fry for 2-3 minutes until small air bubbles form on the surface of the uncooked side. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Finish and Serve: Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve the warm pancakes with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; lumps are fine and contribute to fluffy pancakes.
  • Cook on low-medium heat to prevent burning and ensure pancakes cook evenly inside.
  • Greek yogurt adds a slight tang and extra protein to these pancakes.
  • For fluffier pancakes, make sure your baking powder is fresh.
  • Adjust milk quantity slightly if batter is too thick or thin for pouring.
