Lisa (from Cooking Up a Sale) did a post recently about Greek yogurt. (Be sure to check out her post!!) It reminded me of these pancakes. I needed to make them again. They are really pretty and fluffy, filling and delicious.
Honesty, I was always afraid of Greek yogurt, but I have been using it more and more, in place of mayo in salad dressings or dips. Even as sandwich spreads.
Have you tried Greek yogurt? Do you like it??? What have you used it in?
* I have made these with sour cream and regular yogurt as well.
* You can add chocolate chips, strawberries, wheat germ, really whatever you want to these.
Greek Yogurt Pancakes
1 c. milk
1 c. Greek yogurt
2 eggs
2 c. flour
2 TB. sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Whisk together the milk, yogurt and eggs. Set aside. Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and whisk, it will be thick and there will be lumps. That is fine. Pancake batter should be lumpy……
Heat your griddle to 350° and spray with cooking spray or smear some butter on. Drop pancake batter in about 1/4 c. scoops onto hot griddle. (This batter is thick and will not spread too far, just sorta spread as you are putting the batter on the griddle.) Cook till you see bubbles, about 2 minutes, flip and cook another minute or 2 till light brown.
Serve. Enjoy.
Yields about 12 ~ 5″ pancakes.

Hey Bobbi- can you tell me the main difference between these pancakes and standard pancakes? Does the yogurt give it a certain taste or texture or something else? Just curious. Thanks, Becky
I cannot say that I notice a different taste, really. They are nice and fluffy, tho dense and filling at the same time……that probably doesn’t make sense. I like it is a healthier pancake, as there is no oil or butter in the batter, and the fact that it has Greek yogurt. SO for a healthy pancake they are my favorite.As far as favorite over-all, it is still the Buttermilk ones ~ https://favoritefamilyfoods.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/our-favorite-pancakes/. Hope that helps. 🙂
Yes Bobbi, that does make sense. I can see that they would be more filling and full of calcium so a win win. Sounds like something to try! Thanks for your input.
No problem!!! Let me know IF you try them! I always enjoy hearing what people have to say….. 🙂 THANKS Beck!
These were good! For a bit there I thought I did something wrong b/c they were SO thick. I basically had to scoop the batter instead of pour 🙂 And I learned to use a small amt and kinda spread out. My first few we’re mammoth!! But we really enjoyed and were definitely a more filling pancake.
Yes, they are so very thick!!! Yes, it is a more “scoopable” pancake as opposed to “pourable”!!! SO glad you guys enjoyed! SO glad you take the time to tell me about the things you make or like the looks of!!!!
