These Greek yogurt pancakes aren’t your standard pancakes. They are delicate and go down easy (you’ll have to try them to know what I mean). I wrote that it serves 3, but I’ll be honest, I could easily wolf down all of these and still feel pretty good about myself ;).
My sister shared this recipe with me for her family’s favorite (almost daily) pancakes. The way she described them made me so hungry – soft, lightly sweet, crisp on the edges from the coconut oil and so delicious with fresh berries. Mmmm I wanted them badly and couldn’t wait to get my (always fiercely hungry, nursing mama) self to the grocery store for the ingredients. Did I mention they are easy?
Ingredients for Greek Yogurt Pancakes:
2 large eggs
4 Tbsp milk or to desired thickness
5.3 oz container (about 2/3 cup) vanilla Greek yogurt (I used Tillamook 2%)
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (*see note on measuring)
Coconut oil to saute (or light olive oil, or butter)
*to measure flour, scoop it into a measuring cup and scrape off top
How to Make Greek Yogurt Pancakes:
1. Whisk together wet ingredients: 2 eggs, Greek yogurt container and 4 Tbsp milk.
2. Stir 1 tsp baking powder into the flour then add this mixture to the wet ingredients.
3. Melt coconut oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Once coconut oil is hot, add heaping tablespoonfuls of batter into the pan. Sautee 2 min on each side until golden.
P.S. you can sub yogurt with cottage cheese but they won’t be quite as sweet as with the vanilla yogurt.

Mmm all that fluffy goodness drizzled with real maple syrup and homegrown raspberries… I think this would work well for dinner also ;).
The Greek yogurt pancakes were delicious and so easy to make, thank you Natasha.

So glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Natasha for this award winning recipe! We loved these pancakes. As always, very grateful for your amazing recipes.
I’m so glad to hear that, Francis! I appreciate the review, thank you.
I have been looking for a high protein, fluffy and crispy pancakes for quite some time. These are absolutely the BEST pancakes I have made. They check all of the boxes – high protein, not too sweet, fluffy with crispy edges, but not bready. They fill my kids up for hours. This one is a keeper!
These are hands down the best pancakes I’ve ever had! They turned out golden brown with a light crisp around the edges… and so buttery sweet..just perfect!!!
Thank you for the review, Nicole! I am happy you enjoyed this recipe.
Best pancake recipe ever. Added a little sugar and vanilla, it was delicious!
Yum! Craving these right now! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi, I love these pancakes. Make them all the time. The kids requested they I make these as waffles. What would I need to do to update the recipe for a waffle iron?
Thank you!
Hi Galina, I haven’t tested this in a waffle maker but I would love to know how it goes if you experiment!
hi like pancakes
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this recipe worked very well I did use a combination of flour 1/4 cup whole meal flour and 1/2 cup of white self raising flour turned out so good😁
Thanks for letting me know how that combination worked!
Just made these pancakes. Very good! Love your recipes, Natasha, all are very tasty and use reasonable ingredients and steps. Thank you!
Hello Zoya, I am so happy to know that you loved these pancakes. Thanks for your wonderful review!
Let me start by saying I never eat pancakes but I’m on a soft diet so I tried these, they were unbelievable. So good, light and fluffy. The only change I made was halving the recipe since I live alone. If anyone else wants to, the flour was 6 tablespoons. This is my new breakfast favorite.
That is so awesome! Thank you for sharing that with us, Glenda. We’re so happy to know that you enjoyed these pancakes.
Hey
Tried the recipe just now. Loved it. Super easy to make. Very moist, not heavy at all. I added a few pinch of sugar though and had them with your eclair custard. This is the fourth recipe of yours I’ve tried. The sponge cake turned out amazing. The baked donuts not so much, will try those again
Thanks for the amazingly helpful blog
I’m happy you enjoyed this recipe Sara! I hope you give the donuts another try soon!
Perfect! Fluffy pancakes. Used vanilla yogurt. Subbed almond milk, only used 2 tbsp. Added cinnamon and nutmeg because it’s fall and they were so good! Made about 6 pancakes the size of my palm, perfect for me and my husband. Ps. Tastes great with pecans and honey
Hi Caillie, Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
