These fluffy Greek yogurt protein pancakes use just three simple ingredients to create a light, airy, and protein-packed breakfast perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats, ground into oat flour
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, maple syrup, honey, chopped nuts or seeds

Instructions

  1. Place 1 cup (90 g) of rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until finely ground into oat flour, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt and 2 large eggs until smooth and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.
  3. Slowly add the oat flour to the yogurt and egg mixture. Stir gently until just combined. If batter is too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk or water to loosen.
  4. Optionally stir in a pinch of cinnamon or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for added flavor.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly oil and wipe excess with a paper towel.
  6. Use a 1/4 cup (60 ml) measuring cup to scoop batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or low oven and repeat with remaining batter to make 6-8 pancakes.
  9. Serve warm with desired toppings such as fresh fruit, honey, maple syrup, or extra Greek yogurt.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better fluffiness. Grinding oats finely is key to light texture. Adjust heat to medium to avoid burning. First pancake may be a test to adjust temperature and batter consistency. Optional add-ins like cinnamon or vanilla enhance flavor. For vegan version, use flax egg and coconut yogurt. Batter can be prepared the night before but may need thinning before cooking.
