Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt any fat level works; higher fat = creamier texture
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or soy
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour for extra fiber
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 –2 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional, for sweetness
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Add-Ins:
  • Fresh or frozen berries
  • Chocolate chips
  • A scoop of protein powder reduce flour slightly if using
  • Cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor
  • For Cooking & Serving:
  • Butter coconut oil, or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
  • Maple syrup nut butter, fruit, or yogurt (for topping)

Instructions
 

  • Mix Wet Ingredients:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, vanilla, and sweetener (if using) until smooth and creamy.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Make the Batter:
  • Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined — the batter should be thick but scoopable. (Tip: Overmixing can make pancakes dense instead of fluffy.)
  • Preheat the Pan:
  • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. To test if it’s ready, sprinkle a few drops of water — they should sizzle instantly.
  • Cook the Pancakes:
  • Scoop ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Keep Warm (Optional):
  • If making a large batch, place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven to keep them warm while you finish the rest.
  • Serve & Enjoy:
  • Stack your pancakes high and top with maple syrup, berries, nut butter, or a dollop of extra Greek yogurt for even more creaminess.
