Yogurt pancakes are fluffy, a snap to whip together, and a great way to work in some extra nutrition into the most important meal of the day.

This recipe is easy to halve or double as your breakfast needs demand.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Yield: About 8 Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour (or 3/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup cornmeal or other flour for texture and flavor)
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (nonfat, low-fat, or whole milk all work here)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. melted butter or vegetable oil
  • Oil or spray oil for cooking

Preparation:

  1. Heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium high heat. Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; then whisk yogurt and eggs together; add yogurt and eggs to flour mixture and stir to combine. Stir in melted butter or oil.
  2. Spray oil on hot griddle and spoon batter into even cakes – about 8 – and let cook until bubbles form on the surface of the cakes, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about another 2 minutes.

Serve pancakes hot, with butter, maple syrup, honey, or jam as you like.

great pancakes!, Member Helyja

I used Greek yogurt because it has more protein than other types of yogurt, and my son is a picky eater who typically doesn't get enough protein, especially at breakfast. Since the yogurt was thicker, I added milk until it was the consistency that I liked. Also, it was vanilla yogurt, which gave the pancakes a nice vanilla flavor. These pancakes were fluffy and delicious. The whole house smelled wonderful while they were cooking. I doubled the recipe so that I would have leftovers to reheat on weekdays for a quick and healthy breakfast for my picky kiddo. He loved these!
