If you’re craving something fluffy, healthy, and incredibly satisfying, these yogurt pancakes are about to become your new breakfast favorite. Yogurt adds a creamy texture and a natural protein boost, making each pancake tender and rich without needing extra oil or butter.
This is a healthy yogurt pancakes recipe that’s perfect for busy mornings or laid-back weekend brunch. With just a few ingredients and big flavor, you’ll have stacks of golden goodness in no time.
You don’t need anything fancy to make the best yogurt pancakes recipe. Here’s what you’ll need:
1 cup Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup flour (all-purpose, whole wheat, or gluten-free)
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Optional: splash of milk (if the batter is too thick)
Optional add-ins: vanilla extract, cinnamon, or honey
Whisk together the yogurt and eggs until smooth. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Don’t overmix—this helps keep the pancakes extra light and fluffy.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it. For perfectly portioned pancakes every time, use the Eggssentials pancake batter dispenser. It makes it easy to control your pour, reduces mess, and gives you consistently shaped pancakes—especially helpful when working with thicker batters like this one.
Dispense about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake and cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip gently and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Stack them high and top with whatever your heart desires!

🥚 Can I make yogurt pancakes without eggs?
Yes! You can substitute eggs with a flax egg for a plant-based option. It works well to bind the batter and adds a little extra fiber.
🌱 How to make a flax egg:
Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it thickens. This gel-like mixture replaces 1 egg in most pancake recipes.
🍦 What’s the best yogurt to use?
Greek yogurt is best for thicker, fluffier pancakes. Regular yogurt works too—just adjust with a bit more flour if needed.
❄️ How do I store leftover pancakes?
 Let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze with parchment between each pancake for longer storage. Reheat in the toaster, oven, or microwave.
These yogurt pancakes are easy to love—simple to make, fluffy in texture, and full of nourishing ingredients. Whether you're going for the 3-ingredient version or adding your favorite healthy twists, this is a recipe you’ll want to keep in your breakfast rotation.
