Quick and easy fluffy pancakes made with just three simple ingredients: Greek yogurt, eggs, and protein powder. Perfect for a healthy, protein-packed breakfast that’s delicious and satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (245g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs (about 100g), room temperature
  • ½ cup (45g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • Optional: pinch of baking powder for extra fluff
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for enhanced flavor
  • Optional: sweeteners like honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs, and ½ cup of vanilla protein powder.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  3. Gently fold in the protein powder until just combined. Adjust thickness by adding a tablespoon of milk if too thick or more protein powder if too thin.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Test heat by flicking a few drops of water; if they dance and evaporate, the pan is ready.
  5. Spoon about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving space between each.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning pancakes. Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to hydrate protein powder and improve texture. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges look set. Lightly grease pan with butter or oil if not using non-stick skillet. Optional add-ins include baking powder for extra fluff, vanilla extract for flavor, or sweeteners for sweetness.
