Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (240 ml)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (about 30 g), vanilla or unflavored whey
  • 1/4 cup milk (60 ml), any kind (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Butter or oil for the skillet

Instructions

  1. Measure out all dry ingredients—1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt—into a large bowl. Whisk to combine evenly. (About 2 minutes)
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs (room temp), 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if using until smooth and creamy. (About 3 minutes)
  3. Stir 1/4 cup protein powder into the wet ingredients until just combined. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk (about 1 tablespoon at a time) to get a pourable consistency. (About 1 minute)
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just mixed. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; avoid overmixing. (About 1-2 minutes)
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small pat of butter or a teaspoon of oil. Warm for 2-3 minutes until pan is hot but not smoking.
  6. Scoop about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed. (Total cooking per batch: about 5 minutes)
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil or a clean towel to keep warm while finishing the batch.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for better batter consistency. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender and fluffy. Adjust heat to prevent burning. If batter is too thick, add milk by tablespoon to loosen. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) if making a large batch. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free baking flour. For dairy-free, use coconut or almond yogurt and plant-based protein powder.
