Ingredients Needed for Greek Yogurt Pancakes
Here’s the basic list of ingredients you’ll need in order to make these protein-rich pancakes. As always, you can find the full list of ingredients in the recipe card below.
- All purpose flour
- Baking Soda
- Baking Powder
- Sugar

How To Make Greek Yogurt Pancakes
This pancake recipe is uses greek yogurt in place of butter to give the pancakes that extra richness without the extra fat.
COMBINE DRY INGREDIENTS Add your dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine.
COMBINE WET INGREDIENTS In a separate bowl whisk together the wet ingredients, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to combine.
COOK ON GRIDDLE I love to cook these pancakes on a hot griddle with a little butter or oil under them. It gives them a nice golden brown finish with a soft and fluffy inside.
This is the griddle I have and we use it almost weekly when I make pancakes, eggs, and bacon!
Make Ahead Instructions
The best thing about pancakes is that they are perfect for making ahead of time. I love to make a double or triple batch of these pancakes and then freeze the leftovers for easy breakfasts throughout the week.
Let the pancakes cool and come to room temperature before placing in an airtight bag or container. I like to use a ziplock bag. Freeze for up to 6 months or refrigerate for up to 7 days.
How To Keep Pancakes Warm
If you’re making a big batch of pancakes for a hungry crowd or kid’s sleepover, you can easily keep the pancakes in a casserole dish lightly covered with foil.
- Place it in a 180 degree oven for up to 1 hour.
- This will keep your pancakes nice and warm without drying them out and over cooking them.
What To Serve With Pancakes
You can never go wrong with maple syrup and butter, but here are a few of my favorite things to serve with pancakes.
- Fresh cut fruits – strawberries, blueberries, bananas
- Buttermilk Syrup – trust me, it’s like liquid gold!
- Scrambled Eggs – do you make them like this??
- Crispy Bacon or Sausage
These pancakes are so delicious. They are fluffy on the inside with the perfect amount of moistness.
By using strawberry greek yogurt in the batter it gives the pancakes a fresh strawberry flavor and loads of healthy protein.

Wow buddy!!! In this lock down period you helped me a lot… Thanks buddy.. I would like to try this tomorrow. Hope my wife will feel great 🙂
I hope your wife enjoys them!
what happens if you don’t have baking powder or one teaspoon of vanilla?
They would be flat pancakes. I do have a recipe for pancakes that uses very basic ingredients that does not require baking powder or vanilla. You can check them out here: Dad’s 3 Ingredient Pancakes
Can u use regular yogurt instead of Greek thanks
It might change the consistency of the pancakes, but you can definitely give it a try!
Yogurt Pancakes looks delicious. i am going to try it for sure.
Great! Hope you enjoy it.
Can you freeze these?
Definitely!
Just perfect!
Until a few time ago, it was the only way to make my boyfriend have breakfast haha. All our friend ask for them. I once tried them with cream cheese instead of yogurt and it still worked! Plus, this is a never-fail recipe, your pancakes always come off perfect, which didn’t happen with other recipes I tried.
I’m sorry my way of writing must be terribile but I’m Italian and it doesn’t often happen to me to write in English
This pancakes look very delicious. My kids would love it. I also love the fact that it contains yogurt. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
So every weekend, when I finish up my open house, I bring the balloons back for my niece. Balloons are like an obsession for children like shoes are to us, I suppose. Thanks so much for sharing the greek yogurt idea for the pancakes. I love pancakes and struggle with making them because they lack protein. So excited to make them this way! Really appreciate that your cooking style includes some healthy and yummy ideas!
Seriously! I think they multiply. Now, we have one very calm child. So, we are adventurous with parties! We even rent a helium tank. But, her party was the end of January and I am still finding balloons. I too am a master at popping while she sleeps. {{insert wicked mom laugh}} Pancakes look fabulous!
The Strawberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes are the true definition of healthy snacks. Since I don’t want my kids to get addicted to junk foods, I’ve always made a point of making for them the Strawberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes at least 3 times in a week.
These are beautiful pancakes! I love pancakes that involve strawberry somehow! Yum! Please tell me how you ‘quietly’ pop balloons. I don’t even have kids yet and want to know.! 🙂 {unless that’s an inside mom joke that I wouldn’t get}. lol.
Haha! No, it’s not an inside joke… What I do is hold the balloon between my arm and body and gently pull the belly button of the balloon out. Then I carefully snip just a little bit of the balloon under the knot with some scissors and the air quietly seeps out. Works like a charm every time. 🙂 Now are you officially prepared to have children. LOL
Lol! That sounds like a great plan! Thanks! 😉
Haha, balloon madness!! These look fantastic! Pancakes make everything better!
They sure do! Thanks Stephanie 🙂
Oh…we don’t do balloon animals here…can’t stand them! Balloons go away magically at night here…kids haven’t figured it out yet. LOL! These pancakes look so good Shawn! YUM!
Those darn balloon stealing fairies! hehe… Thanks Wendy!!
Thanks for posting this.
Oh, balloons. God forbid it pops or “goes away” while the child is at school! 🙂 Love these pancakes!
Thanks Dorothy! 🙂
This recipe sounds so good! As soon as I find strawberry Greek yogurt, I am making these. I have regular Greek yogurt but didn’t know they made it in strawberry. Sounds delish and I am going to try it! I always wondered why kids get so crazy when balloons are around myself! My daughter hates balloons, in kindergarten they played a game where you have to sit on the balloon and pop it! Well, she was so light, her balloon wouldn’t pop and everybody else was done, watching her try to pop hers and she just hated that!! Luckily, she doesn’t want them at any party she is at. She avoids them like the flu.
Oh man that would definitely be hard on a little kid!
You can use the smaller cups of Greek yogurt with strawberry and just stir it up till it’s all combined. Works like a pro. 😉
Kids and balloons are serious trouble but omg whats worse is CATS and balloons or rather the ribbon. Good grief just make it stop. Oh and I’ll take a nice stack of these awesome pancakes while we’re ranting 🙂
Bwahaha! We don’t have cats, but I can only imagine!! And yes, let’s eats some pancakes!!
HAHA…..My eldest was actually terrified of balloons when he was younger 🙂
Love the pancakes and the addition of greek yogurt! Definitely must try!
It must be either a love for balloons or an immense fear of them. Kids are all about extremes. Haha. Thanks Asiya!
Too funny! Yes, I’ve had many of those balloon moments and have been known to take a needle to the trouble-makers (the balloons, not the kids) when no one’s looking. These pancakes are beautiful, Shawn, and I love the addition of Greek yogurt.
Haha thanks Dara! The things we have to do as moms…
Haha!! It was my son’s birthday last week, and the same thing happened. and my daughter ended up popping the balloon and chaos ensued. I needed these pancakes!
Well happy belated birthday to your little man! And yes, lots and lots of pancakes will cure anything. 😉
