Fluffy Greek Yogurt Blueberry Pancakes: Your New Breakfast Obsession
Weekend mornings call for something extraordinary. Discover fluffy, protein-packed pancakes bursting with juicy blueberries for the ultimate breakfast indulgence.
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (120ml) milk (or plant-based milk)
- 2 tbsp melted butter or neutral oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (flour-dusted if frozen)
1. Prep Your Ingredients
Measure everything out before you start. Have your blueberries ready (flour-dusted if frozen) and your dry ingredients mixed in one bowl, wet in another.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3. Whisk the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine and Fold in Blueberries
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined. Fold in the blueberries. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.
5. Cook to Golden Perfection
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
6. Serve and Enjoy!
Stack pancakes high and top with maple syrup, Greek yogurt, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
