Servings: 2 servings
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup (180 g) Greek yogurt full-fat recommended
- ¾ cup (70 g) rolled oats gluten-free if necessary
- 1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, to taste
- ½ tsp baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract optional
- ½ tsp apple cider vinegar optional for fluffier pancakes
Add to a blender Greek yogurt, eggs, rolled oats, maple syrup, and baking powder. You can add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for more flavor, and apple cider vinegar for a fluffier texture.
Blend until smooth, but do not overmix. The batter should be thick but still pourable, not runny.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Grease it well with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
Pour one scoop of batter into the hot and greased pan. Cook the pancakes over low/medium heat until the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, then flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat the process until you run out of batter, greasing the pan between each pancake.
Serve drizzled with maple syrup and your favorite toppings, or store for later.
Greek yogurt pancakes with no blender
If you don't have a blender or prefer using a bowl, you'll first need to replace rolled oats with oat flour or your favorite flour. Once substituted, combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and stir until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix, or your pancakes may get dense.
Storage directions
- To store. Let cool, then place the pancakes into an airtight container and refrigerate for a maximum of 4 days. Before eating, microwave for about 30 seconds or reheat in a pan.
- To freeze. Allow to cool completely, then pack individually in zipper bags and freeze for up to 3 months. Before serving, reheat frozen Greek yogurt pancakes in a warm skillet, in the microwave or in a toaster.
