These fluffy protein pancakes with creamy Greek yogurt are quick, easy, and packed with protein, making them a perfect healthy breakfast or brunch option. The Greek yogurt adds moisture and a subtle tang, creating a soft, satisfying texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (or oat flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup (50g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (whole, almond, or oat milk)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) creamy Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • For serving: extra creamy Greek yogurt, fresh berries or sliced banana, maple syrup or your favorite nut butter

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk, Greek yogurt, melted butter, and maple syrup or honey if using until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined; a few lumps are fine. Do not overmix.
  4. Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Test readiness by flicking a few drops of water on the surface; they should dance and evaporate quickly.
  5. Using a ladle, pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  6. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while finishing the batch.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to activate baking powder and hydrate protein powder for fluffier pancakes. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles appear and edges set. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk; if too runny, add a bit more flour or protein powder.
