Ingredients
(Herе’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
All-purpose flour: I use standard flour for the fluffiest results.
-
Baking powder: Fresh baking powder is key for perfect rise.
-
Greek yogurt: Plain, full-fat yogurt adds moisture, creaminess, and a slight tang.
-
Milk: Any milk works, dairy or non-dairy, to adjust batter consistency.

Eggs: Large eggs help bind and add richness.
-
Vanilla extract: A splash of pure vanilla enhances the flavor.
-
Maple syrup (for serving): Real maple syrup balances the tang of yogurt beautifully.
Directions
Gather Your Ingredients
Measure out everything first to keep the process smooth and organized.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. The lighter and well-combined this is, the fluffier your pancakes will be.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, like a soft cloud.
Combine Mixtures
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine and help keep the texture interesting.
Heat Up Your Griddle
Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat. When hot enough that water droplets sizzle, add a little butter or oil.
Cook Pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on top, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Now you’re ready to enjoy these delightful pancakes! Top with fresh berries, syrup, or your favorite toppings.
