Fluffy Greek Yogurt Pancakes Recipe
Fluffy Greek Yogurt Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole-wheat Flour
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 4 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1 tbsp. Sugar
- ½ tsp. Salt
- 1 ½ cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 2 pcs. Large Eggs
- 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- Fruits for serving
- Maple Syrup for serving with Pancakes
Instructions
- Blueberry Banana Greek Yogurt Pancakes
- Whisk the all-purpose flour sugar, baking powder, whole-wheat flour and salt inside a large bowl. Whisking these ingredients will make sure that the ingredients will be mixed thoroughly aside from the fact that no lumps will appear in your pancakes.
- Inside a small separate bowl, whisk the milk, vanilla extract and eggs together before pouring it inside the flour mixture. Stir constantly until everything is well-blended together. After that, add the Greek yogurt and mix again until bubbles have disappeared. Bubbles rather create holes in the pancakes so make it as minimum as possible.
- Heat a 12-inch skillet or a non-stick pan over a stove at a medium-heat setting. Once heated, scoop or pour at least ¼ cup of the pancake batter right into the pan and cook for at least 3 minutes or until bubbles are formed around the pancake’s edge. Flip the pancake and cook for at least 90 seconds before transferring it to a serving plate. Repeat the process until the rest of the pancakes are all cooked and transferred in every serving plate.
- Stack at least three or four finished Fluffy Greek Yogurt Pancakes, put some choice fruits like strawberries or blueberries and pour some maple syrup over it before serving.

Fluffy Greek Yogurt Pancakes: The Oven-Baked Version
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven and Prep Baking Sheet: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare Pancake Batter: Follow your Fluffy Greek Yogurt Pancake recipe as usual. Remember, the batter should be lumpy and not overly mixed for that perfect fluff.
- Portion the Batter: Using a ladle or a large spoon, drop circles of pancake batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave adequate space between each as they will expand a bit during baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Oven temperatures may vary, so keep an eye out!
- Serve Warm: Once baked, remove the pancakes from the oven. Let them cool for a minute or two and then transfer them to a serving plate. Top with your favorite syrups, fruits, or any other desired toppings.
Tips for making Fluffy Greek Yogurt Pancakes
Serving Suggestions for Fluffy Greek Yogurt Pancakes
- Toppings Galore: From classic maple syrup to honey or agave nectar, pick your liquid gold. Fresh fruits like berries, sliced bananas, or even tropical fruits like mango can add a refreshing touch.
- Go Nutty: A sprinkle of chopped nuts – think almonds, walnuts, or even pecans – can add a wonderful crunch and a boost of nutrition.
- Dairy or Dairy-Free: A dollop of whipped cream, Greek yogurt, or a vegan alternative can make these pancakes even more luxurious.
- Beverage Pairings: A fresh orange juice or a creamy latte can complement your pancake breakfast. For an adult twist, maybe even a mimosa!
Cooking Tips for Perfect Pancakes Every Time
- Don’t Overmix: One of the cardinal sins of pancake making. Overmixing can result in a dense texture. Mix until just combined, even if there are a few lumps.
- Check Your Leavening Agents: Ensure your baking powder or baking soda isn’t expired. This is crucial for that desired fluffiness.
- Consistent Heat: If you’re making these on a stovetop, ensure that the heat is consistent. Too hot, and your pancakes might burn on the outside while being raw on the inside.
- Patience is Key: Wait for those bubbles on the surface before flipping the pancake. It’s the signal that they’re ready for a turn.
FAQs on Fluffy Greek Yogurt Pancakes
- Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Absolutely. However, Greek yogurt is thicker and can make your pancakes a tad more fluffy. If using regular yogurt, you might need to adjust the quantity of the liquid in your batter. - Is there a dairy-free substitute for Greek yogurt?
Yes, you can use non-dairy yogurt alternatives like almond, coconut, or soy yogurt. Ensure it’s unsweetened and thick in consistency. - Can I freeze these pancakes?
Certainly! Just place a parchment paper between each pancake and stack them up. Store in a zip-top bag and freeze. Reheat in a toaster or oven when ready to enjoy. - Why are my pancakes not fluffy?
There could be several reasons, from overmixing the batter, using old leavening agents, or not letting the batter rest for a few minutes. - How long can I store leftover pancakes?
Refrigerate any leftovers within two hours. Store them in an airtight container and consume within 1-2 days for the best quality. If freezing, they can last up to 2 months.
