Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (245g) Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg whites (about 60ml)
  • 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Cooking spray or butter for the pan

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites, 1 tablespoon sugar or honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy. Use room temperature yogurt for easier mixing.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay. The batter should be thick but scoopable.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small brush of oil. Test heat by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they sizzle and evaporate quickly, the pan is ready.
  5. Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto the hot pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Place cooked pancakes on a plate in a warm oven (around 200°F/90°C) if making multiple batches to keep them soft and warm.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking to help leavening. Flip pancakes only once to maintain fluffiness. If batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or water to loosen.
