These fluffy Greek yogurt protein pancakes are a wholesome, protein-packed breakfast option that is quick and easy to make, using simple ingredients like Greek yogurt, oats, and eggs. They offer a perfect balance of fluffiness and nutrition, ideal for busy mornings or a cozy brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional add-ins/toppings: fresh or frozen berries, chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. If using rolled oats, pulse 3/4 cup oats in a blender or food processor until they form a fine flour-like texture (about 30 seconds). If you have oat flour, skip this step.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon honey (if using), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add the oat flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix.
  4. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb moisture.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; they should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
  6. Spoon 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm, topped with berries, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to soften the oats and improve fluffiness. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender. Use medium heat to cook evenly without burning. For vegan or dairy-free options, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and eggs with flax eggs.
