Print Recipe

Light, airy pancakes made with Greek yogurt and protein powder, bursting with sweet berries for a healthy and delicious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
  • 1/2 cup (about 50 grams) vanilla-flavored protein powder
  • 3/4 cup (95 grams) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (any kind, unsweetened almond milk recommended)
  • 1 cup (150 grams) frozen mixed berries, thawed slightly
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Maple syrup or honey, for serving (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a larger bowl, beat eggs lightly, then stir in Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold dry into wet: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
  4. Add berries: Carefully fold in thawed mixed berries to preserve their shape and color.
  5. Preheat skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Test heat by sprinkling water drops; if they dance, skillet is ready.
  6. Cook pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto skillet. Cook until bubbles form on surface and edges look set (2-3 minutes), then flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Keep warm and serve: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven if cooking in batches. Serve warm with maple syrup or honey and fresh berries if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter. Fresh baking powder ensures fluffiness. Cook pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning. Flip pancakes only once for best texture. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking. If batter is too thick, add more milk; if too thin, add more flour or protein powder.
