Description

Greek Yogurt Protein Pancakes are fluffy, satisfying, and packed with nutrients—perfect for a healthy and energizing breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup fresh or frozen berries
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon flaxseeds or chia seeds
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
  4. Slowly incorporate the milk into the batter until thick but pourable.
  5. Fold in any optional add-ins like berries or nuts.
  6. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  7. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet and spread slightly.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook another 2 minutes.
  9. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a towel.
  10. Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, beat egg whites separately until soft peaks form and fold into batter. Let batter rest a few minutes before cooking.
