Protein-Packed Greek Yogurt Pancakes with Blueberries

Protein-packed Greek yogurt pancakes with blueberries are my favorite way to make breakfast feel extra special when I want something fluffy and comforting and I still want to stay energized and satisfied for hours. One slow Sunday morning, I was craving pancakes but also wanted a little protein boost, so I grabbed some Greek yogurt and a handful of juicy blueberries and that experiment turned into the most delicious stack of pancakes I’ve ever made and now these pancakes are a weekend tradition in my kitchen that I look forward to all week.

I love how the Greek yogurt makes the pancakes so tender and light while adding extra protein and the blueberries burst with juicy sweetness in every bite and the golden edges and warm stack drizzled with maple syrup always make me feel like I’m having a cozy café-style brunch at home and they’re so simple to whip up that I can enjoy them even on busy mornings and they always make my family smile when they see them on the table.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for these pancakes. Feel free to adjust to your taste!
• Greek yogurt – Makes the pancakes extra fluffy and adds protein.
• Eggs – Help bind the batter and give a light, airy texture.
• Milk – Loosens the batter to the perfect consistency.
• Whole wheat or all-purpose flour – Forms the base and gives structure.
• Baking powder – Makes the pancakes rise and turn super fluffy.
• Vanilla extract – Adds a sweet, cozy aroma.
• Honey or maple syrup – Naturally sweetens the batter.
• Blueberries – Bursts of juicy sweetness that make every pancake extra special.
• Salt – Balances the flavors perfectly.
• Butter or oil – For cooking the pancakes to golden perfection.

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls – One for wet ingredients, one for dry ingredients.
• Whisk – To mix the batter smoothly.
• Spatula – For flipping pancakes without breaking them.
• Nonstick skillet or griddle – Essential for evenly cooking the pancakes.
• Measuring cups and spoons – To keep all ingredients balanced.

Instructions

Step 1

I start by whisking together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth.

Step 2

In another bowl, I combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

I gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix so the pancakes stay fluffy.

Step 4

I carefully fold in the blueberries, saving a few to sprinkle on top while cooking if I want extra.

Step 5

I heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Step 6

I pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7

Finally, I stack the pancakes on a plate, top with extra blueberries, and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.

Tips

If you want even more protein, I sometimes add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the batter. You can also swap the blueberries for raspberries, chopped strawberries, or chocolate chips for a fun twist. And if you want a little crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts on top before serving!

Ways to Serve

I love serving these protein-packed Greek yogurt pancakes with a big handful of fresh fruit and a drizzle of warm maple syrup. They’re also amazing with a dollop of nut butter or a spoonful of Greek yogurt on top. Sometimes I make a big batch and freeze leftovers for a quick breakfast during the week.
