Greek yogurt protein pancakes - featured image

Light, protein-packed pancakes made with Greek yogurt and oat flour, perfect for a wholesome breakfast or brunch. These pancakes are fluffy, subtly tangy, and easy to customize with mix-ins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup rolled oats, ground into flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional mix-ins: fresh berries, dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 cup of rolled oats and grind them in a blender or food processor until they form a fine flour (about 30 seconds).
  2. In a bowl, combine the oat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir briefly to distribute evenly.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup milk, and 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup if using until smooth and slightly thick.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and stir gently until just combined. If batter is too thick, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time to loosen.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Lightly grease if needed.
  6. Scoop about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Spread slightly if needed.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, sliced bananas, nuts, or maple syrup.

Notes

Use fresh baking powder for best rise. Do not overmix the batter to avoid rubbery pancakes. Medium heat is key to avoid burning. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking for better texture. Optional to whip egg whites separately for extra fluffiness.
