Fluffy Greek Yogurt Blueberry Pancakes (Printable version)
Light, airy pancakes with juicy blueberries and creamy Greek yogurt for a protein boost and tangy flavor.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
07 - 1/2 cup milk
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Add-ins
11 - 1 cup fresh blueberries
→ For Cooking
12 - Butter or oil for greasing the pan
# How to Make It:
01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy—avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.
04 - Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.
05 - Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil.
06 - Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the heated surface. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form across the surface and the edges appear set.
07 - Turn the pancakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and completely cooked through.
08 - Continue with the remaining batter, applying additional butter or oil to the pan as necessary between batches.
09 - Serve pancakes warm, accompanied by maple syrup, additional fresh blueberries, or a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
# Expert tips:
01 -
- The Greek yogurt makes them incredibly tender while adding protein that keeps you full
- They cook up perfectly light and never dense, even with all those blueberries folded in
02 -
- Overmixing the batter makes tough pancakes, so stop when streaks of flour disappear
- The first pancake is always your test one, adjust heat if it is browning too fast
03 -
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for fluffier results
- Aim for bubbles that stay open and look set around the edges before flipping
