How to Make Pancakes from Scratch

Are you ready to ditch the store-bought pancake mix for good? This is the recipe that’s going to make that happen, and it couldn’t be easier or faster. All you need is two bowls, a whisk and a spatula to transform a few fridge and pantry staples into the lightest, fluffiest Greek yogurt pancakes.

How to Make Pancakes with Yogurt

Yogurt is a tangy, protein-packed addition to pancakes, lending both moisture and flavor to your stack. You can substitute in yogurt for pancake recipes that utilize buttermilk, however it’s not necessarily a 1:1 substitute since yogurt is thicker than buttermilk so you may need to adjust the quantity or thin your yogurt slightly with milk.

How to Freeze Pancakes

I am a huge fan of making a big batch of pancakes and freezing leftovers for a quick, homemade breakfast in minutes. The best way to freeze pancakes is to let them cool completely and then to wrap each of them individually in plastic wrap. Seal all of the wrapped pancakes in a plastic bag and freeze them.

When you’re ready for fluffy flapjacks, unwrap one or a dozen pancakes and microwave them for about 1 minute, or until they’re warmed throughout.

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar

Instructions 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.

    Wish I could give 10 stars!! Best pancakes I’ve ever made and I’m never using a different recipe again. The name of the recipe is 1000% accurate. FLUFFY indeed!

  2. 1 star
    Why is there so much baking powder? I knew it seemed strange to add so much, but I went with it…. My 3 year old daughter can’t even eat them, calling them “spicy”…. I agree…. Tastes like chemicals.

    1. Hi Kristen – I’ve never experienced a “spicy” flavor before. Did you add 4 teaspoons? And did you confirm your baking powder is fresh?

  3. 5 stars
    I’ve struggled to make homemade pancakes that weren’t hard little frisbees and WOW! This recipe blew me away with its fluffiness! I upped the ante and served them with lemon curd and meringue, which took it to another level. But even as a simple, unadorned pancake, it shines!

  4. 5 stars
    This is one BANGER of a pancake recipe! They turned out perfectly. One tip: I let the batter rest for about 2 minutes before putting it on the griddle. This seems to help with the fluffy factor (because it gives the baking powder a little time to do its thing. I sent my H out for raspberries because I just wanted the pancakes to look pretty like in your pictures and just WOW. Thank you for a great recipe!

    1. 5 stars
      These were DELICIOUS, fluffy, moist, and I feel good about eating them. I have made these and frozen some to reheat later too and they’re just as delish in the toaster.

      1. Sooo good,! l made them in a blink of an eye.
        I used 1 cup of each wholemeal flour and plain flour.

        Thank you for your recipe

  5. 5 stars
    Made this recipe with bread flour instead of the mix of whole wheat and all-purpose (it was all I had) and skipped out on the vanilla (didn’t have any), and they still turned out great! Super yummy. Made about 26 pancakes, ate some, and froze the rest for later :) What method do you recommend to reheat them?

    1. I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, Mary! The best way to reheat if frozen is by microwaving them in 30 second increments!

      1. 5 stars
        Thank you for this quick and awesome recipe. Just made it, very fluffy and very yummy!
        This will be my go to recipe ❤️

  6. 5 stars
    Oh my goodness! First yogurt recipe we’ve tried and I don’t feel the need to try another.

    This was so moist and tasty! We use less syrup because, well, we just didn’t need it for moisture or flavor.

    We threw a few blueberries on top of a few pancakes as they were cooking and they were great as well.

    I will not be buying pancake mix again….love them!

  7. 4 stars
    Really nice pancakes, fluffy and not dry. However the batter was too runny so next time I will add another 1/2 cup of flour plus 1 tsp of baking powder. I am not sure if that was because we only used white flour rather than wholegrain/white mix? But delicious and will make again – which is the important thing!

    1. So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Vanessa! You can try adding more flour, but yes the density of the two flour types is different.

  8. 2 stars
    Sorry, but these didn’t work out great for me…
    The batter was way too thick to manage. After the first pancake came out in a big thick blob, I had to add at least 1/2 cup more milk.
    It was also very bland, despite me adding an extra Tbl spn of sugar.
    I’m in Australia, and over here natural Greek yoghurt is very thick and a bit sour, not sweet at all. Maybe in USA greek yoghurt is sweet and more runny…?

    They were definitely fluffy though!

    1. Hi Roxanne! I’m sorry you didn’t have success with this recipe. My guess is that the difference in yogurt consistency is what caused the batter to be too thick.

  9. 5 stars
    I really enjoyed these pancakes and will definitely make them again . They were nice and fluffy and were similar to buttermilk pancakes.

    I used full fat Greek yoghurt and cow’s milk instead of almond milk. I only used a pinch of salt, but next time I would use the correct amount of salt.

  10. 5 stars
    These are so fluffy & delicious! I feel good about making them for my family since they are on the healthier side.

    Hello!! Best tasting pancakes ever!!! First i want to say i dont like pancakes because i dont feel full after eating them and i feel sick afterwards… but these i didnt. I cooked them in coconut oil and i used chai seeds and flex seeds in my batter. Perfect!

  12. 5 stars
    So thankful I stumbled across this recipe. This is now our go to pancake recipe. The pancakes come out so fluffy. We have been making this for dinner about once a week. I have gestational diabetes this pregnancy. This recipe gives us 16 pancakes and I’m able to eat 3 of them paired with peanut butter and a very small amount of maple syrup for dinner. My husband and toddler love it too.

  13. 5 stars
    Very tasty!! I add 1 1/2 Tabs of monk fruit sugar, and 1 Tab melted butter, caused I used fat free Greek yogurt. Fresh Blueberries. DELICIOUS!

      1. Thank you so much, I had dinner honey Greek yogurt to use up.
        I had to make a couple of subs. Used all, all-purpose flour as it was what I had. Used honey instead of sugar.
        They were fab

  14. 5 stars
    Turned out perfectly. I used golden wholemeal flour for all of it rather than mixing with white but otherwise followed the recipe. I’ll definitely be using this one again.

  15. 5 stars
    These were awesome! Cut the baking powder in half, used monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar, used vanilla Greek yogurt and added blueberries.

    I halved the 4 serving recipe as it was just me, my husband and 1 year old. Was the perfect amount for us with no wastage! I also swapped sugae for agave syrup which i mixed in with the wet ingredients. They were delicious with maple syrup and berries!

  17. I made these this morning and oh my! So good! I may try subbing some quick oats in place of the flour and adding a little cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, then add some diced and softened apple to the mix. Yum! This is a real good base for several types of pancakes, my favorite being blueberry.

  18. 5 stars
    This recipe is absolutely delicious! Our 10-year-old granddaughter was groaning with joy while she was smiling around her fork. I make pancakes and waffles for them very often, and I’ve never had a reaction quite like this one.

    I used fat free Greek yogurt, soy milk, and because the yogurt was fat free I subbed in some cream to make up for the lack of fat content. I probably added an additional ¼ cup of liquid because I used medium grind whole wheat flour and it absorbed quite a bit.

      1. Thanks so much for your feedback, Neil. I don’t provide metric conversions for my recipes, as I cannot guarantee they would be 100% accurate without being tested. However, you are welcome to use an online converter. :)

        I made these pancakes a few days ago and they are fantastic. Quick and easy to make and taste sensational! Have printed it off as it is a “keeper” . Thank you.

  19. 5 stars
    These are so fluffy and tasty. My family including my 7 year old son gave them rave reviews. I added a some cinnamon and a little nutmeg for spice.

  20. I didn’t have cooking spray so I used canola oil on my stovetop, and I don’t think it worked. The taste of pancake is nice, but mine didn’t turn out flight or fluffy at all :(. I think I am pancake challenged!

    1. Hi Flora – Is your baking powder fresh? Also, it’s important not to overmix the batter. You actually want some lumps in it. :)

  21. 5 stars
    This is the third time I’ve made these no-fail, light and fluffy pancakes. I substituted oat flour in place of wholewheat, as was out of WW, and 10% greek yogurt. This is now my go-to pancake! No more store-bought mixes. Delish!

  22. Can I use this recipe for waffles? We love these as pancakes but wanted to try waffles. I’m wondering what I might need to add/ or take out to make them work. Thinking maybe some oil or butter…..some type of fat to keep them a bit crispy?

    Love your recipes!!!

    1. Hi Sarah! Yes you should be able to, but waffle recipes require a bit more fat. I’m not sure the exact amount in this recipe, but I’d add 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Let me know if you give it a shot!

  23. 5 stars
    This recipe is Amazing! My daughters love it I’m so happy I found this recipe but sad I didn’t find it earlier. We have been making them weekly and now I need start prepping some for the freezer because they are so loved at home xx this week will be adding some blueberries :)

  24. 5 stars
    I made this recipe the other day and it resulted in the most wonderfully fluffy pancakes! Absolutely delicious!

  25. 5 stars
    I used 1/2 AP flour 1/2 almond flour and added 1 tsp chia seeds – came out awesome! Will make with all types of yogurts moving forward!

  26. 5 stars
    I’ve been making these pancakes for a while now and feel bad I haven’t commented earlier!
    They are by far the best pancakes I’ve made, and I’ve tried a lot of recipes.
    I love them, but more importantly my children love them.
    They puff up amazingly, making them light, soft, fluffy and utterly delicious.
    I always make a generous batch and keep some in the fridge for a few days for easy breakfast and/or freeze some.

    1. This is what I love to read, Caroline! I’m thrilled you and your family have been enjoying the recipe! :)

  27. 5 stars
    Beautifully fluffy, no-fail pancakes. The family loved them. Even better studded with chocolate chips, berries or chopped fruit.

  28. 5 stars
    Best pancakes – fluffy, tasty, and they keep you full for ages. They also freeze well. Revive in microwave.

  29. 5 stars
    These turned out so good! I didn’t have greek yogurt, so I used Activia. I also only had all purpose flour, so I used 2 cups of that. Thank you so much! This recipe beats any boxed pancake mix by far. It also opens up so many possibilities for flavor! I used strawberry yogurt, but next time I may try blueberry or strawberry banana… cherry, key lime!!!

  30. 4 stars
    The pancakes are definitely amazing! The lower rating is due to the inability to find nutrition info like calories, etc. I have printed the recipe so that I don’t have to find it again. It is my go to for pancakes in the future! BTW, I substituted rolled oats for the whole wheat flour. Perfection!

    This is my go to recipe.

    I always have Greek yogurt in the house and this is a fantastic way to use it! Pancakes are always fluffy and moist and this batter makes for a great canvas for any of your favorite pancake add ins.

    I never end up having whole wheat flour so I just double the AP flour and these still come out great. I do like to add in some flaxseed meal to make them more fibrous (though by no means are these unhealthy without it).

    1. I haven’t tried that so I can’t say with certainty what the results would be. Let me know if you give it a shot!

  32. 5 stars
    I’ve made this recipe with 3 tsp of baking powder, 1 full cup of yogurt and added one lemon’s zest. It came out amazing! The pancakes were fluffy and stayed fluffy even after I refrigerated a few leftover ones. Will be making it again for sure.

  33. 5 stars
    Been making this recipe with my almost 2 year old every month for the last few months. They are our staple! We freeze the extras for him to take to daycare. I love that they are half whole wheat and have a healthy dose of Greek yogurt for fat and protein. We follow the recipe exactly and always come out delicious. Thank you!

  34. 5 stars
    Excellent recipe, my 8 year old daughter and her friend made them. They turned out great. We made a few adjustments since we are at 7,000 ft. We used 1% milk, 3 tsp of baking powder, a little extra milk and fat free plain yogurt. Will definitely save this recipe!

      1. 5 stars
        fabulous! followed the instructions exactly and they were wonderful. loved the added wheat flour; it gave the cakes something a little extra and earthier. i will definitely be making these again!

  35. 5 stars
    Pancakes were extremely fluffy. Great recipe! I am at high altitude so added more milk, more yogurt, and put a 1/4cup melted butter. I also reduced baking soda to 2.5 tsp since I can always taste baking soda in pancakes. Recipe is a keeper!

      1. 5 stars
        This is my go-to pancake recipe. I make our yogurt so I almost always have it on hand. Or I know this is a good way to use up what I have if I need to! My 5 year old made them for us this morning :)

  36. 5 stars
    Easy to make – just the perfect start into a Sunday :)
    Super fluffy, very tasty! I just substituted the Greek yoghurt with some plant based coconut option and I worked just fine! :)

  37. 5 stars
    These came out excellent, was even noted that it was a change in recipe from a somewhat fussy eater. This will be my go to from now on. Thank you.

    As a fellow blogger I just wanted to say that I tried your recipe and mine turned out light and fluffy and were not dark at all. I subbed honey for the sugar. I am convinced it is your photo as mine turned out very beautiful and similar (yes with half whole wheat and half all purpose flour). Not sure why anyone would think it was a stock photo. The pancakes were delicious and I will be saving this recipe. I know my grands will love it!

    1. I used 0% greek yogurt and, as the first pancake tasted pretty flavorless, added three more tables of sugar (I know, I know). They were fluffy, and lovely looking, though. Good recipe, but, unless it was due to my fat free yogurt, definitely need more sugar or maybe a packet of healthy sugar substitute.

      1. Hi Christina! Feel free to add more sugar to the pancake batter, but I prefer to keep the pancakes less sweet since they’re usually covered in maple syrup :)

  39. 5 stars
    I made this pancake recipe this morning and they were light, fluffy, and delicious! Thank you for this awesome recipe.

  40. 5 stars
    These were soooo fluffy and delicious. The recipe also made so so many. My husband and I each had 3 medium pancakes and I can’t begin to tell you how filling they were.
    The only thing I did was substitute the 1tbs sugar for 2 tbs honey, I put the honey in with the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.

  41. 3 stars
    The pancakes were quite dense, not light and fluffy. Also the pancakes didn’t look the picture at all. I would use just white flour.

    1. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe, Munjula. Is your baking powder fresh? Also, it’s important to not overmix the batter. You actually want some lumps in it. :)

      1. 5 stars
        Everyone in my house loved these! I’ve been begging my fiance to make me these everyday since I found the recipe. Do you think we can sub the 2 flours for oat flour? I don’t want to mess with perfection.

      2. Hi Cece! Substituting oat flour in place of the other flours will alter the texture and density of the pancakes. I’d start with just replacing 1/2 cup with oat flour to see what happens. Let me know if you give it a shot!

    2. 3 stars
      That was my experience. I knew they were not going to be fluffy or white bc of the whole wheat flour but thought the 4 tsp. Of baking soda and greek yogurt might at least make them fluffy. I followed directions exactly but they were thinner and more tan color.They did however taste good and are healthier. I think they use stock photos for pancakes bc unless u use white flour. Buttermilk or fold in egg whites you won’t get anything close to the photo. I gave only 3 stars bc the photo is deceptive

      1. Hi Shirley – I do not use stock photos or attempt to be deceptive with any of my photography. All of the photographs you see on Just a Taste were shot by me and strictly adhere to the recipe. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe.

  42. 4 stars
    The healthiest, best pancake recipe I’ve personally made. My two year old loves them too! Will certainly make these again!

    Thank you!

    Great recipe. I reduced baking powder to 2 teaspoons because 4 teaspoons seems to impart an off- taste.
    I only had non-fat Greek Yogurt on hand so I added2 Tbsp of melted butter.. I also had to use 2cups of unbleached flour instead of some whole wheat flour.”
    These were deliciously light in texture and wonderful in flavor.

      I used the 4 tsp baking powder and did notice the taste was off as well. But the pancakes certainly were fluffy! I also used white whole wheat flour (made from the white wheat berry) which gave it a smooth texture. Thanks for the subs and additions; I’ll try it next time.

  44. I want to try this recipe in the next couple of days. I only have vanilla Greek yogurt, not plain, so I’m thinking I can eliminate the sugar. I plan on keeping the vanilla since it is part of the liquid/dry ratio. Do those ideas make sense?

  45. 5 stars
    This is my go to recipe for pancakes or waffles! I’ve made this recipe so many times – with and without Greek yogurt (I didn’t have any on hand) and they still turn out wonderful. Thank you Kelly!!

  46. 5 stars
    Made it twice last week with walnuts and chocolate chips. I had almond soy milk in the fridge, and also I added cinnamon powder. They turned out so well!

    My mom loved them! It is better than pancakes at macdonald’s!

    I’m sharing the recipe with my sister and thanks for the wonderful and easy recipe!

  47. I absolutely love this recipe, its the only pancake recipe i make. I add pumpkin and pumpkin spice , apples, bananas. Thank you for sharing!!!

    1. Hi London! Yes you should be able to, but waffle recipes require a bit more fat. I’m not sure the exact amount in this recipe, but I’d add 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Let me know if you give it a shot!

  48. 5 stars
    Totally delicious!!! This will be my ‘go to’ recipe from now on! Made it as above but used 1 cup of gluten free SR flour, 1 cup of gluten free plain flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. I also added a little extra Greek yoghurt (approx 1/4 cup) and another tablespoon of sugar.

  49. 5 stars
    Wow! What a great recipe! My 7 year old daughter helped and ate them all up! (We used white flour, oikos cherry Greek yogourt and almond milk with a tablespoon of melted butter!) Will definitely be sharing this recipe! Makes great leftovers for kids who like eating pancakes like cookies! Thank you

  50. Made these today taste great. I used yopro strawberry protein instead of Greek yoghurt and up it to 1cup and 1 cup of milk yummy with a lil maple

  51. Can I make the pancake batter and store it overnight in the fridge? Will that affect the quality of the mixture or the final product?

    1. Hi Cindy! I wouldn’t recommend that as the leavening agents won’t retain as much ability to cause the pancakes to puff (and hence, be light and fluffy instead of dense!).

      1. Hi
        I’d love to make these. If I only have all purpose flour are there any changes I can make to still get the same amazing pancakes? Thank you for all your wonderful recipes ❤️

  52. 4 stars
    The flavor is really nice but they’re a little gummy. I did use all white flour instead of the wheat/white mix and I used whole milk. But I love between the milk, eggs, and Greek yogurt there’s actually protein for my kiddos!

    1. Hi Kirstin! Substituting all-purpose flour in place of the wheat flour will alter the texture and density of the pancakes. I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, though!

  53. 5 stars
    SUCH a great recipe! Every time I make pancakes the batter ends up runny and the pancakes end up being really unevenly cooked. These were perfect! Super fluffy and light and great all on their own! I added blueberries, used only all purpose flour (it’s all I had on hand), and cut the recipe in half and it STILL turned out perfect. 10/10 would recommend.

  54. 5 stars
    I made this recipe today and I am beyond excited.
    I have tried many recipes in the past and I am very picky with the recipes I keep and use over and over.
    I have seen that recipes with buttermilk and/or vinegar create fluffy pancakes but this didn’t include any of these ingredients.
    This recipe was simple and easy to do, the only modification I did was that I used Gluten free flour (mix of potato, rice and a little bit of coconut) and a splash of raspberry balsamic vinegar.
    This is a keeper!!!

  55. Super delicious! I added chocolate chips in mine. Used 1/3 of the batter onto skillet at a time, made 7 large fluffy pancakes. Pro tip: if you use chocolate chips, the best kind would be mini chocolate chips in which you can mix right into the batter. if you use regular sized chocolate chips, drop some (about 7) onto the batter once its on the skillet and cover the chips with some more batter to prevent it from burning once you flip it!
    Good luck!

  56. 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.

    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!

    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!!!

  59. 5 stars
    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!

    1. 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.

    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

    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!

  64. 5 stars
    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.

    Delish. My 4yr son wants them again. I just made them sugar free by substituting stevia for the sugar. And for a bit of fun I ad dragonfriut powder to make them pink. Yum and yum.

    In the video it shows you adding the yogurt to the milk, eggs and vanilla. In the directions it says to add it after you mix the wet and dry together. It seems versatile if you are like me and forget things until it’s almost too late.
    Trying these for breakfast this morning. Seem fairly WW friendly.

  69. Theses were really great! I have been looking for a healthy version for Sunday morning pancakes and these are a step in the right direction with no butter and not a bunch of sugar! My kiddos both loved them, and they have not loved all of my pancake creations lately, so I was happy about that! I had them with some beautiful blueberry/peach jam I bought at the market yesterday for a great start to our Sunday!

    It’s the only recipe I use for pancakes! It really is the best and the easiest! Plus it it healthier than most versions.
    Tried it for the first time as waffles: delicious!!!

  71. Quick tip from my Dad who made THE worlds best lightest pancakes in the world. Separate the eggs, add yokes to batter, beat the egg whites stiff and fold into batter leaving small chunks of white and refrigerate over night. He had pancake houses asking for his recipe but it was too much work for them. (Fry on a wood burning stove when possible and oh my! Lol.)

    These are awesome and surprisingly kid friendly pancakes, considering how healthy and wholesome they are. Both of my very picky kids ate a stack of them!

    I made these fluffy babies today and added blueberries and walden farms pancake syrup. I used cashew milk. They were excellent.

  74. Could you add just 1 cup of milk and 3/4 cup of yogurt? Or would that mess with the consistency?

    1. That should work! The batter may be a little thicker, but it should still be scoopable :)

  75. Love the recipe , I definitely rather make them this way then the box.

    thanks for sharing.

    I love this recipe, but I find that the batter is very thick. So thick that it doesn’t pour. I’ve tried adding more milk, but then the pancakes. Turn out too doughy. Any ideas?

    Outstanding; I just added some blueberries into the batter and topped the pancakes with Stonewall Kitchen Wild Maine Blueberry syrup for an exceptional breakfast.

    I just made these, and the batter is very light, not too thick, even with the whole wheat flour and yogurt. They smell delightful while they’re cooking!

    I make my own yogurt so always looking for recipes using it. So glad I found your recipe. I have been eating homemade pancakes for 70 years. These are absolutely the best! Thank you for posting!

  80. The best recipe of pancakes I’ve tried so far! I’ve followed closely the recipe and it turned out perfect! Thank you

    These are SO, SO, SO good!! I made them today and they came out super fluffy and delicious! These are definitely the best pancakes that I have made and I will surely be making it again!!!

    I’ve been making pancakes for decades. These are the very best ever! My spouse plowed through four and wanted more. I made another batch and packaged them air tight for the refrigerator. I’m a little hesitant to freeze them. What’s your advise?

    1. Love hearing this, Nan! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe! As for freezing them, allow them to cool completely then freeze them in a single layer in a resealable plastic freezer bag.To reheat, microwave for 1 minute.

  83. Hi,

    I want to try these out but I normally only have 0% Greek yoghurt around the house. Should I alter the recipe for that to add in more fat? (I also don’t always have wholewheat flour, but I imagine that’s easier to comp!)

    Thanks so much!

  84. 5 stars
    These are amazing! I used blueberry Greek yogurt and they had a hint of blueberry flavor. I put an orange/berry syrup on top, delicious! Will definitely make again!

    1. Hi Jean! Substituting all-purpose flour in place of the wheat flour will alter the texture and density of the pancakes. And you’ll most likely need even more all-purpose flour than what the recipe calls for when using wheat flour.

    1. Hi Valeigh! I haven’t tried those substitutions as doing so will alter the texture and density of the pancakes.

  85. 5 stars
    Thanks for the recipe. I had only regular low-fat yogurt, so I ended up using just a little more than 1 cup of almond milk, until it has the right consistency. Also the almond milk was sweetened vanilla so I omitted the sugar and vanilla extract. These pancakes came out great.

  86. 5 stars
    Great recipe! I did only half and it yielded 8 small pancakes. Used quick oats instead of whole wheat flour (because that’s what I had and I liked the idea of Ella) and they came out great.

  87. i just made these with Bob Mills Gluten Free Pancake Mix and they turned out great. I used vanilla greek yogurt and didn’t add vanilla. I also didn’t use syrup. Instead I mixed a small amount of fat free whipped cream with vanilla yogurt to fluff it up and used that as a topping instead of syrup.

    These are fantastic! The only step I added was separating the egg white, whipping to stiff peaks & folding them in. So good.

  89. 5 stars
    Made these with all white whole wheat flour and they turned out delicious!!! Such a winner, I will absolutely make them again!

    1. Hi Kelsey! Instead of storing the batter in the freezer, I’d suggest making the pancakes, allowing them to cool completely then freezing them in a single layer in a resealable plastic freezer bag. To reheat, microwave for 1 minute. Hope that helps :)

    how much lower fat buttermilk can you get? the real thing’s only 2% fat!
    Lovely recipe resulting in ultra light and lusciously decadent pikelets.
    thank you for sharing.

    1. I haven’t tried substituting another flour for the all-purpose flour as it will alter the texture and density of the pancakes. Hope that helps!

    1. Hi Clarissa! I’ve never tried making this recipe without the whole-wheat flour, so I can’t say for certain what substitutes would work. Sorry I can’t be of more help!

    1. Hi there! I’ve never tried that substitution with this recipe so I can’t say for certain what the results would be. Let me know if you give it a shot!

    Quality recipe! I followed the recipe mostly but instead of wholemeal flour i used 1 1/2 cups of SR flour and blended 1/2cup of oats. I also added 1 day old squishy banana from the kids lunchbox which gave them a beautiful subtle banana flavour. These was our family’s favourite panccake recipe so far and we will definitely be cooking them again… thanks so much.

  92. Can I use Kodiak waffle and pancake mix instead of the flour? Do I keep all the other ingredients the same?
    Thank you

    1. Hi Linda – I’ve never used a pancake mix with this recipe so I’m not sure if that would work. Let me know if you give it a shot!

    Hey there :)
    was wondering if I could make the pancakes then store them in the fridge in an airtight container for a couple of days as I prepare my food every sunday for the whole week..
    thanks a lot for the video and the calories are prefect for 3 pancakes ! amazing recipe can’t wait to try it out for my family as we love pancakes

    1. Hi Maha! Instead of storing in the fridge, I’d suggest making the pancakes (allow them to cool completely) and freezing them in a single layer in a resealable plastic freezer bag. To reheat, microwave for 1 minute. Hope that helps :)

    Hello, Thank you so much for posting this amazing recipe. They are the best healthy pancakes We have ever had. They are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. I tries other ones before that the inside would never fully cook but not these! Best way to start the day!

    1. That should work, Teaha! To freeze, I’d recommend arranging cooled pancakes in a single layer on sheet pans. Freeze overnight or until frozen. Transfer to a resealable plastic freezer bag. To reheat, microwave for 1 minute. Enjoy!

    Hi Kelly ,
    this recipe looks quite amazing to me.Is the greek yogurt an essential ingredient ?If not ,is there a substitute for it?
    And you are a Gorgeous Lady

    Thanks!

    Can I prepare the batter a night before i make it and leave it in the fridge to be used in the next day? Im afriad i wont have time to measure and put all the ingredients together in the morning…

    1. Hi there! 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.

    1. Hi Emma – You can definitely try adding protein powder but it likely will alter the texture of the pancakes. It should still work though! Let me know if you give it a shot.

  97. The only thing I did different was I beat the egg whites first then added the yolks and the rest of the wet ingredients. Then addded the dry mix.
    I’m 25 years in the food business; I’ve eaten at thousands of places and these are by far and wide THEE best pancakes I have ever eaten! Take a break from the restaurants and make these at home. Treat yourself; your family; the neighbors–anyone who you think deserves this pancake receipe gift from the gods!!!!!!

  98. hi i made these and they came out flat :( i seem to have problem with pancakes. also is 2% yoghurt, low fat ? i am in london and we get zero fat, low fat, & full fat yoghurt. thanks

    1. Hi there! It’s hard to say what might cause flat pancakes. Is your baking powder fresh? And you’ll want to use either low-fat or full-fat yogurt.

  99. Just made for a lazy Sunday Snowed in breakfast. Added Seville orange rind, ground cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger. Delicious. Just a note I. The directions, it is written “head” instead of heat the griddle. May want to edit. Thanks for the recipe!

  100. I do a keto friendly :Made almost the same way.
    Only I used Almond flour,instead of white or wheat flour. Instead of yogurt,because of the sugar, I used sour cream.have used cream cheese. Adding a few drops of liquid Stevia.then maple flavoring. Just because I’m doing LCHF (low carb high fat). Adding plenty of butter! Yummy

    1. Hi Jenifer! Substituting all-purpose flour in place of the wheat flour will alter the texture and density of the pancakes. And you’ll most likely need even more all-purpose flour than what the recipe calls for when using wheat flour. Hope that helps!

  101. Voilà Céline:

    250 mL whole-wheat flour

    250 mL all-purpose flour

    20 mL baking powder

    15 mL sugar

    2.5 mL salt

    355 mL unsweetened almond milk (or any other variety of milk)

    2 large eggs

    10 mL vanilla extract

    120 mL plain 2% Greek yogurt

    Maple syrup, for serving

    Fruit, for serving

    J’espère que ça t’aidera.

    1. Hi there, Pokella! Oil or nonstick cooking spray is used in the pan just prior to spooning batter into it. Hope that helps!

  102. Hi there…the recipe looks great. But I’m french ;-) basic ingrédients I know, but specific ones…always a problem ;-) could you please give me the conversions in grams for the greek yogurt ? What page do you recommend for conversions (specific ingredients) ? Thank you.

  103. Since I’ve used your recipe and have had my many mouthfuls of satisfaction.. I have to say this is by far the BEST pancake recipe I’ve had incorporating whole-wheat flour into the recipe..

    Pancakes came out soft and fluffy which I wasn’t really expecting since all the other whole wheat recipes I’ve tried, always makes pancakes hard and densed and dry..

    This recipe, however, mind-blowingly good and it’s such a simple basic pancake but definitely a go-to.. I see myself adding more ingredients into this recipe to kick things up a few notches. Regardless it’s splendid on its own and with butter.. Amazing and thanks for sharing the love!

    Cheers,
    Sherry

  104. The text of this particular ad over laps the pancake article. I can’t see the recipe or any other article on this page. Can I find the ingredients and the how-to somewhere else?

    1. Hi Quiana – Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention. I am going to email you to get some additional details so we can troubleshoot this for you ASAP.

  105. Barbara,
    You can see the nutritional info on the ingredients packaging. My daughter is a Type 1 diabetic and we have to know carb counts for everything she eats so i just look at the lables on each ingredient or theres also a website called Calorie King and its great for fonding most any nutritional information. Also you can email me and u can try to help whenever I can. winks4me@yahoo.com
    Hope that helps

  106. I’ve been wandering through the links on Andie’s blog, admiring the tribe of blogger friends sharing the joy of her new book… and awesome recipes. SO FUN!! Love these pancakes… my family will love them. Now I’ve got to get my hands on a copy of the book :)

    1. Hi Barbara! I am unable to provide nutritional info for my recipes because I am not a registered nutritionist so I’d have no way of guaranteeing the info is 110% accurate, which is super important to me.

        I tried these today but of course I messed with the recipe. I was trying to get rid of some lemon yogurt and I had more than a cup. I also was given extra large eggs at the store when I picked it up. So I had to do a little Adjusting with the flour. They came out super yummy. They were not as high as yours but if I had Whipped the egg whites it might’ve been the same.
        I also want to know if anybody else has the problem where I made two batches so if you get to the bottom they are not as fluffy so I started adding more baking powder or soda whatever the recipe uses and that seem to help a lot at the last part of the batch.
        Everything I do are there is only two of us, And I’m usually on a diet. So I make them ahead I put them in containers with parchment paper between each pancake. I usually freeze some and keep some out for the week. I think you get money for links so I’ll let you put a link out to the different sizes of round parchment paper on Amazon.
        Since I do this so often and I also make other things, so I bought different sizes and like 100 of each.
        I am always blocked on Facebook and I don’t even have a Twitter account anymore so I will put you on mewe and the other new ones. I also I still am able to use messenger. Getting off big tech!
        I’m going to have to try out more of your recipes this was really really good and I just found you I love to cook!
