Strawberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes

Strawberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes are light and fluffy pancakes that are filled with protein rich greek yogurt and stacked with fresh strawberries.

Strawberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes are one of my new favorite ways to make breakfast for my kids. Speaking of which…

We need to talk.

Ok, maybe I need to talk and you need to listen to me rant.

What is up with kids and balloons?

It’s like it has been programmed into them since they were mere infants to go completely and utterly berzerk whenever they see balloons. Jumping up and down, arms waving all around, screaming at the top of their lungs, “BALLOOOOOONS!!!”

My husband just has his birthday last week and to surprise him when he got home from work, the kids and I strolled down to the dollar store to pick up some classy decorations. We picked up some streamers, a little banner, and of course some dreaded balloons.

Don’t get me wrong, balloons are fine. But when you mix my 4 kids with a balloon it’s pure chaos. For some reason I always forget this and end up buying more balloons.

So we bought one of those fancy mylar balloons that says, “Happy Birthday Dad” as well as a handful of regular ol’ blow-them-up-yourself balloons. When the nice lady at the store was filling up the giant balloon, it happened.

My kids started with, “I’m holding it first!”

“No, me! I get to hold it.”

“I picked it out, I get to hold it.”

While I was pretending that these are not my children, that same nice lady who was filling up the balloon decided to fill up some regular ol’ balloons for each of them to hold. Great. More ammo.

As soon as we get home they are running around punching balloons, playing volleyball (which means spiking it in each other’s face), rubbing them on each other’s hair, and…and… POP!

Cries. Tears. Sadness.

Then dad walks in the door…. SURPRISE!…. happy birthday??

Then when they are sleeping I quietly pop each. and. every. balloon. {it’s a technique I’ve learned to master}

As long as you prepare some of these Strawberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes first thing in the morning they will forget all about the balloons, and order will be restored to the world.

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.

I know you’re going to love these light and fluffy pancakes, especially when paired with this Homemade Buttermilk Syrup!
