Print Recipe

Light, tender, and protein-packed pancakes made with Greek yogurt and protein powder, perfect for a quick and nourishing breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (can substitute whole wheat or almond flour)
  • 1/4 cup (30g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (245g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sweetener of choice (optional: honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
  • Butter or oil for greasing the pan
  • Optional add-ins: fresh blueberries, sliced bananas, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest, cocoa powder, chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Measure out all your ingredients before starting.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener if using.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. A few small lumps are okay; do not overmix.
  5. Adjust batter consistency by adding a splash more milk if too thick or a little more flour if too runny.
  6. Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  7. Scoop about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or nuts.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better batter rise. Handle batter gently to avoid tough pancakes. Preheat pan properly to avoid burning or drying out. If pancakes aren’t rising, check baking powder freshness. Don’t press pancakes while cooking to keep them fluffy. Leftovers can be stored in fridge up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
