Greek yogurt protein pancakes - featured image

These fluffy Greek yogurt protein pancakes are made with just three simple ingredients—Greek yogurt, eggs, and oats—for a quick, protein-packed breakfast that’s light, airy, and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Optional: 1-2 tbsp sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute)

Instructions

  1. Place 1 cup (90 g) of rolled oats into a blender or food processor. Pulse until it reaches a fine, flour-like consistency, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk 2 large eggs and 1 cup (240 ml) of Greek yogurt until smooth. If using, add 1 tsp vanilla extract and ½ tsp cinnamon now.
  3. Gradually stir the oat flour into the yogurt-egg mixture. The batter will be thick but slightly pourable. If you want sweeter pancakes, fold in 1-2 tbsp of your preferred sweetener.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles on contact.
  5. Spoon about ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Spread gently if needed. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  6. Using a spatula, flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat if pancakes brown too fast.
  7. Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm while cooking the rest. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

If batter is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk (dairy or plant-based) to loosen. If too thin, add a bit more oat flour. Let batter rest for 5 minutes to hydrate oats fully for better texture. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Flip pancakes only when bubbles form on surface.
