I’ve discovered the holy grail of pancake recipes. And trust me, I would never call any recipe the holy grail of anything unless I absolutely, 100%, beyond any shadow of a doubt believed it to be true. And these, my friends, are the holy grail of pancakes: thick, fluffy, and unbelievably delicious.
Can you spot the secret ingredient?
Flour, an egg, baking soda, and a container of Greek yogurt are the only ingredients you’ll need to whip these up in 10 minutes flat.
That’s right— you only need 1 bowl, 4 ingredients, and 10 minutes to make the best pancakes ever.
I’ve made these Greek yogurt pancakes about a bajillion times and they’re virtually foolproof. I most often use 0% vanilla Chobani, but have also tried mango and strawberry banana flavored yogurt with fantastically delicious results as well.
Try these! You’ll love ‘em.
UPDATE 11/5/13:
I made a video demonstrating how to to make these Greek yogurt pancakes. Check it out below and be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel for more recipes – I’m planning to film quite a few in the coming months.
- 6 oz of your favorite Greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- scant ½ cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- Open the yogurt container and stir the yogurt until it’s smooth and creamy. Crack an egg over the yogurt and stir to combine leaving. The resulting mixture should be pale yellow in color and have a few lumps here and there.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking soda.
- Pour yogurt/egg mixture into the bowl with the flour and baking soda. Stir to combine. The batter will be extremely thick.
- Spoon the batter onto a sprayed griddle or pan heated to medium-high. I usually make four big pancakes, but you could also make 8 smaller ones.
- Flip the pancakes when they start to bubble a bit on the surface. Cook until golden brown on both sides and serve with butter, syrup, fruit, Nutella….anything! Enjoy!

I swear I was a gay guy in a past life. I love guy on guy action and romance and I’m a girl! Anyone else feel this way. I love metros because they’re so feminine and that’s so hot to me or bi guys because they can get turned on by guys too.
EHeh au moins tu nous fais bien marrer oui ! c’est l’essentiel, vivement que tu te presentes qu’on rigole de nouveau ! Parce que sans Nadine et Nicolas on se fend plus autant la poire
OK, what did I do wrong. Mine were gummy, gooey, eggy mess that were basically impossible to flip.
Hi Meredith. I just made these today and the first pancake was a mess. I switched to a different pan and the pancakes came out amazing! So try a different pan, that might be the issue.
Equally as good GF flour!

I, too, have been looking for a tasty low-carb pancake recipe, and was excited to try these: Greek yogurt, easy, fluffy, so added sugar– what’s not to love? ; ) Thick! Light! But I found these to be too egg-y. Modified after the first few: added vanilla soy milk to make them pourable (and add additional protein), and a splash of vanilla for flavor. These were soft, more like crepes, amd great with a little syrup or Nutella.
MAKAY, pancakes freeze well. I would freeze them individually, or seoarate them with a piece of wax paper to make thawing easier. I used to make a full batch and freeze half, but now my husband likes to snack on them throughout the day and there’s never enough leftover to freeze! ; )
