Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil, plus more for the griddle
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Stir in the melted butter or oil.
- Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
- Serve immediately: Stack the pancakes and serve with your favorite toppings like fresh berries or maple syrup.
Notes
- The Greek yogurt creates a slight tang and helps make these pancakes light and airy.
- For a quick breakfast, you can mix the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Cook when ready.
