Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
1/2 cup milk (any kind)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon melted butter or oil, plus more for the griddle
Instructions
Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Combine wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Mix batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Stir in the melted butter or oil.
Heat griddle: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The surface is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
Cook pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
Serve immediately: Serve your fluffy Greek yogurt pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like fresh berries or maple syrup.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
To make lemon pancakes, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the wet ingredients.
For blueberry pancakes, gently fold 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries into the finished batter before cooking.
This recipe yields approximately 8 medium pancakes.
