Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined and fluffy.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using) to the wet ingredients. Whisk until a smooth batter forms. -
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Pour ⅓ cup of batter onto the heated griddle for each pancake.
Cook until small bubbles form and pop on the surface of the pancake. Flip and continue cooking on the other side until golden brown. -
Serve:
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh blueberries, maple syrup, additional Greek yogurt, orange zest, or nuts.
Notes
- To make these pancakes dairy-free, simply use non-dairy yogurt and almond milk.
- For extra flavor, mix in fresh berries, chocolate chips, or cinnamon to the batter.
- If you prefer gluten-free pancakes, substitute the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- To reduce sugar, skip the sugar or use a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
