Fluffy Greek Yogurt Pancakes

If you’ve never made pancakes with yogurt, you’re missing out! These are the fluffiest pancakes ever. Greek yogurt pancakes are light and have a custard-like texture in the middle! These and Breakfast Pizza are my kid’s favorites. Their texture is somewhere in between Japanese pancakes and old-fashioned pancakes.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

To make fluffy yogurt pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:

• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• Eggs
• Vanilla-flavored yogurt
• Water

I like using vanilla-flavored yogurt, but if you have plain yogurt, use it and add a couple of tablespoons of sugar and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. You can add fruit or chocolate chips too.

How To Make Pancakes With Yogurt?

Making pancakes with yogurt instead of buttermilk is very easy.

1. Place the eggs, yogurt, and water in a medium-sized bowl and whisk until well combined.
2. Mix the flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a different bowl.
3. Pour the egg/yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until moistened. Don’t over-stir, or your pancakes will become dense instead of fluffy.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat, spray with butter-flavored cooking spray, and pour ¼ cup of batter. Wait for bubbles to form on the surface of the pancake before carefully flipping it over. Cook until the second side is golden brown.

Can Yogurt Be Substituted For Milk In Pancakes?

It can. Just remember to add water so the batter is pourable. Yogurt will make pancakes fluffy and light.

How Much Water Do Yogurt Pancakes Need?

It will depend on the yogurt you use. Some brands are thicker than others, so I recommend using from ½ cup to 1 cup of water. The batter should be pourable but not runny.

Why Do I Have To Use Baking Powder and Baking Soda?

Yogurt is a slightly acidic food, and the baking soda will offset this but may not be enough to make the pancakes rise, hence the need for adding baking powder too.
