While I often adore whipping up a batch of something like my whole wheat apple cinnamon pancakes for a different kind of morning treat, these yogurt pancakes offer an unparalleled lightness and a clean-eating feel. In fact, I’m always looking for innovative ways to incorporate more protein into our breakfasts, and the concept of flourless protein yogurt pancakes has been a constant source of inspiration and culinary exploration.

Whip up these incredibly fluffy, high-protein yogurt pancakes that require no flour, perfect for a guilt-free and energizing breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended for best texture)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed

  • 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored work best)

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1-2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy, if needed for consistency)

  • Butter or coconut oil for cooking

Directions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, mashed banana, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  • Add the protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  • If the batter seems too thick to pour, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a pourable but still thick consistency. You want it thick enough to hold its shape but thin enough to spread slightly.
  • Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or coconut oil.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface.
  • Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of extra Greek yogurt.

Notes

    • Batter Consistency: If your batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk until it reaches a pourable but still substantial consistency. Avoid making it too thin, or your pancakes won’t be fluffy. This is our family secret for perfect texture!
    • Flavor Boost: Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for an extra layer of warmth. You can also mix in a teaspoon of lemon zest for a bright, fresh twist. A dash of almond extract instead of vanilla can also be delightful.
    • Perfect Flipping: Wait until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set before attempting to flip. A thin spatula is your best friend here, ensuring you get under the whole pancake for a clean flip without losing that incredible fluffiness.
