Ingredients
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any other variety of milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Fruit, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs and vanilla extract. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Add the yogurt and stir.
- Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and spray it well with nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches, spoon a quarter cup of the batter onto the pan for each pancake and cook just until bubbles form around the edges of each pancake, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 90 seconds more. Transfer the pancakes to a warm plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes topped with maple syrup and fruit.

BTW Great recipe! Love it!
Hi there! You can find the estimated nutritional info by clicking on the purple button below the recipe that says ESTIMATED NUTRITION INFORMATION. :)
I like the texture that the whole wheat adds and the flavour from the extra vanilla .
I added half a bag of frozen blueberries and more yogurt just to empty the containers. They were a hit.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I made these with all purpose flour. I used a little more than a half of a cup of Greek yogurt and eyeballed some extra flour and it turned out great, still fluffy and delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jordan!
literally the best pancake recipe I’ve ever tried. I’m glad I did because they were amazing and the whole family loved it! I can’t believe how good these are. On my website, I have prepared recipes in infographics. I invite you. Thank you!!!
I’m so thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe, Stacy!
These were very good! I substituted buckwheat flour for half of the
all purpose flour and added a little more salt. Just because we like
the buckwheat flavor, but it’s too strong on its own.
Can the batter be refrigerated and used again the next morning??
Two mornings of fresh pancakes would be divine!
Thank you!
Hi Suzy! You definitely don’t want to make the batter until right before you’re going to cook the pancakes. It’s important to do this so the pancakes remain light and fluffy. :) I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Tried these for the first time today.
I must say , they were delicious.
I added 1 banana, and 1 cup of frozen fruit, and they turned out amazing.served with unsweetened apple sauce, instead of butter and syrup.
Thanks so much.
You are so welcome, Lynn! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Thank you. Finally, this UK household sees what all the fuss is about with American pancakes as opposed to our more French-style crepes that we have on Pancake Day.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Love your French style crepes, filled with fresh strawberries. :)

I bought my son vanilla Greek yogurt to get more protein into him since he loves yogurt so much, but he won’t eat it if it’s not added into anything (I’ve even tried adding fruit) so I was looking for recipes to use and yours came up. We usually make chocolate chip pancakes with a mix on Saturday mornings but we’re out of chocolate chips so it was perfect to find this recipe. I used vanilla Greek yogurt and added some vanilla protein mix to the milk and oh my goodness, they were so good. My boys are each on their 3rd, and asking why I didn’t makes these ones before. Thank you so much, I can’t wait to browse your website and see what other great recipes wait for me.
Take care, Kaci
Love reading this, Kaci!
I’m obsessed! I will literally use this pancake recipe for the rest of my life. I found it when I was pregnant with my son. He’s 2 now and loves these pancakes. We make them at least once a week! Thanks so much!
LOVE this! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Logan!
This recipe is fantastic! The pancakes are thick, fluffy, and crispy on the outside. I used full fat Greek yogurt because that’s what I had in my fridge. As a result, my batter was a little thick. I added an extra tablespoon or so of milk and it was perfect! Will definitely be making again.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Haley!
Surprisingly delicious! I used skyr yogurt which is very thick, so I added 65 ml of milk and it turned out great. Thanks!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Cristina!
The are great! I’m on a diet and am happy to have found a recipe that is health enough that I don’t feel bad about eating them.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Daniela!
Soooo easy to make and sooooo delicious!! Loved the recipe xxx
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jeann!
Can I use fat free Greek yogurt to make these? Will it affect the fluff factor at all?
Yes, that will work! Should have a very minimal effect.
delicious! and easy!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Teagan!
