These healthy protein-packed Greek yogurt pancakes come together quickly right in your blender with only 7 simple ingredients. They’re perfectly fluffy and delicious!
I am so excited to share this Greek yogurt pancakes recipe with you because 1) who doesn’t love pancakes?! And 2) just like my easy protein pancakes and cottage cheese pancakes these pancakes are packed with protein which means they’ll help to keep you full longer than traditional pancakes. Always a win in my book!
I love that these pancakes are easy enough for a weekday breakfast, but also fancy enough for a weekend brunch. I can totally see a pancake brunch bar in my future… You could offer different pancake mix-ins and toppings and everyone could create their ideal pancake stack. Mmm! Who’s coming over?

Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Protein-packed – Thanks to Greek yogurt and eggs, these pancakes are higher in protein, keeping you full and satisfied all morning.
- Naturally sweetened – The banana adds just the right amount of sweetness, so no added sugar is needed.
- Easy and quick – Just blend, pour, and cook! Perfect for busy mornings.
- Kid-friendly – My kids gobble these pancakes right up! They love adding their favorite toppings!
- Customizable – Mix and match your favorite mix-in’s or toppings to make them your own.
Ingredients Needed
- banana – adds natural sweetness and moisture to the pancakes. Make sure it’s ripe for the best flavor.
- eggs – acts as a binder and adds a boost of protein.
- rolled old-fashioned oats – provides the base for the pancake batter. These make the pancakes hearty and naturally gluten-free.
- plain Greek yogurt – brings creaminess and extra protein to the mix.
- cinnamon – adds a warm, cozy flavor to the batter.
- baking powder – helps the pancakes rise and become fluffy.
- sea salt – enhances all the other flavors.
Substitutions
- Banana: If you don’t have a banana, try substituting with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, though it will slightly change the flavor.
- Eggs: I haven’t tested this recipe with flax eggs, but it might work for an egg-free option. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
- Plain Greek yogurt: Swap with any dairy-free yogurt to make these pancakes dairy-free. Coconut or almond yogurt would be great options.
- Want to add mix-in’s? Go for it! My kids love when I add chocolate chips to the batter, but fresh fruit like blueberries or raspberries would also be delicious.
How to Make Greek Yogurt Pancakes
Just follow these two simple steps, and you’ll have a stack of delicious, protein-packed pancakes ready to enjoy in no time!
Step 1: Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, pour in 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, and cook until bubbles form. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until done. Repeat until all the batter is used. Serve with toppings of choice!
Brittany’s Tips!
- Use a ripe banana: The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your pancakes will be.
- Non-stick skillet is key: Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
- Low and slow: Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the outside may burn before the inside is cooked.
How to Serve Greek Yogurt Pancakes
These Greek yogurt pancakes are delicious on their own, but adding toppings and sides makes them even better. Here are some ideas:
- Classic toppings: I like to serve these pancakes with banana slices, chocolate chips and maple syrup and/or nut butter for drizzling.
- Yogurt and granola: Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of homemade granola, and a drizzle of honey for a parfait-inspired twist.
- Side options: Serve alongside scrambled egg whites, turkey bacon, or a fresh fruit salad for a complete breakfast or brunch spread.
- Drinks: These pancakes are great with a warm cup of coffee, tea, or even a blueberry smoothie!
Storing Options
Refrigerator: You can store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a toaster or on a skillet over low heat.
Freezer: Want pancakes on demand? Freeze them! Lay them flat on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. Reheat straight from frozen in the toaster, microwave, or skillet for a quick and easy breakfast anytime.
Frequently Asked Questions
It’s best to cook the pancakes right after blending for the fluffiest results. If you need to prep ahead, you can blend the batter, store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours, and stir before using.
No blender? No problem! Mash the banana with a fork and whisk all the ingredients together until the batter is as smooth as possible. It might have a little texture, but the pancakes will still turn out great.
Look for bubbles forming on the surface and the edges starting to set. If you can easily slide a spatula underneath, it’s time to flip!

This is one of my favorite weekend go-to recipes. So easy and my pancakes are delicious! I get about 10 small pancakes out of the full recipe. I top with berries and sugar free pancake syrup. YUM!
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear. I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying this recipe. Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
Except…What ??
Hi Donna – Did you have a question about the recipe?
Hi, I noticed it as well. The recipe says add everything to a blender except but didn’t tell what. lol. I was reading to try and figure it out myself.
Sorry, that was a typo! 🙂 I just updated the recipe. Thanks for catching!
so I made.this recipe and it was really good. I didn’t have greek yogurt just fat free plain yogurt.
the issue I had was I only got 4 pancakes out of the recipe and it’s suppose to be 2 servings.
thank you for posting the recipe. I probably will not use the chips. since I can only get 4 pan makes out of the recipe.

Hi Carol – Thanks for coming back to leave a note and for the review. I’ll have to make these again to see how many pancakes I get!
Hey, how should I store it in the fridge, and for how long? Thanks! x
Hi Leia – You can store these in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
Good morning, Brittany 🌞. Today I made Greek yogurt pancakes 🥞. I added triple mixed berry jam🍓🫐 that I made and maple syrup 🍁 on top. WOW 😲! It turned out very delicious 😋, well-flavored healthy, fluffy, pleasant 😁, and divine. I enjoyed it very much 😀. Your recipe is glorious and remarkable 🤩.
YUM! So glad you are enjoying these pancakes, Ana. Thank you so much for coming back and sharing your review & star rating, I really appreciate it!
Oh my goodness these pancakes are PERFECT. Fluffy and filling whilst feeling healthy, too 🙂 I omitted the chocolate chips, added a little vanilla extract, and topped with some butter, maple syrup and hemp seeds. This is definitely my new go-to pancake recipe – thank you 🙂
Excellent! These are so good. I am so glad you are loving this recipe, Sarah. Your additions and toppings sound amazing. Thank you for coming back and sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
I love these pancakes. I added more cinnamon and vanilla. They were perfect.
Yay! Thank you, I am so excited to hear that you are loving these pancakes, Yolanda. I appreciate you coming back and sharing your review + star rating.
Just made these for my 2.5 year olds snack. Super fast and she ate 4. We used wild blueberries instead. Yum!
YUM! I am so glad this recipe is a hit for you and your daughter, Cori. The wild blueberries sound delicious. Thank you for sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
Could these be made into waffles?
These are hands down, the BEST pancake recipe. I make several batches every few weeks, freeze them, and reheat in the oven at 250. My 18 month old devours them (without the chocolate chips) as do the adults. These are healthy and filling. Pancakes are no longer a weekend only breakfast! Thank you for your healthy and delicious recipes, which have become regulars in our meal planning.
WOO! I love this, Janet. I’m so glad that you and your little one is loving this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing your review + star rating, it means so much to me!
Yum! I’ve made these pancakes twice in the last 3 days, they are so good!! I too with berries and sugar free maple syrup and you’d never guess they didn’t have flour. Adding to my breakfast repertoire!
Yay! I am so glad that you are loving this recipe, Tamar. Thank you so much for sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it.
I love whipping these up quick for my 3 yo. The ingredients make me feel good about feeding them to her and we both love them!
Yay! I’m so glad to hear that, Emily! Thank you for sharing, it means so much to me.
Amazing pancakes my husband and I love it. Been looking for a health recipe for the longest while. My husband couldn’t believe that there is no flour in it. Thanks for sharing
Aw yay!! So happy to hear these pancakes were a hit, Pel! Thanks so much for trying them out and coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it!
I made these a while ago and my family loved them so thank you!
And I was just wondering if you know if it would still turn out well if I prepared the batter the night before and then cooked the pancakes the next morning?
This is a very versatile recipe. It works well as a breakfast, snack or dessert.
Thank you for sharing!

My little one cannot eat eggs. Can I replace the egg here with applesauce? If so, how much do you think would be equivalent to still get the fluffy p-cakes? Do you think something else would be better? Thank you! Looking forward to trying this!!
Hey Paige – I would maybe try flax eggs instead! Just mix 1 T of flaxseed with 3 T water to equal one egg. Let the mixture gel up for 5-10 minutes and then add it to the mixture like you would a regular egg. 🙂
Have you tried the bottled JustEgg? Highly recommend!
Hi Sam – I haven’t tried it, but I assume it would work great in this recipe! Let me know if you decide to test it out. : )
I made these for a 4th of July brunch and everyone loved them! I personally prefer these to regular pancakes. The banana flavor is yummy and the yogurt makes them moist in a nice way. Also, super fast and easy to prepare!
Woo!! So glad these pancakes were a hit, Amy! Thanks so much for the review and star rating. I really appreciate it!
First time trying flourless pancakes and these were wonderful! I was pleasantly surprised, thank you.
I did add an extra banana (for added sweetness so I didn’t need syrup) and a tbsp of cocoa powder. Used the chocolate chips but cut way back to less than 2 tbsps and then topped with a little whipped cream. YUM! Even my skeptical husband like them.
Question: Ever try freezing these?
I’m so glad these pancakes were a success, Kelly! And as for freezing them yes, you definitely can. Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate it!
Sooo yummy. Omitted the chocolate chips since I had none 🙁 added fresh strawberries on top. So delicious!
Yay! So glad these pancakes were a hit, Liz! Thanks for the review 🙂
These are healthy and delicious! Usually I struggle with healthy pancakes being too liquidy to flip in the pan. These taste great! I used blueberries instead of choc chips-still great!
Woo! So glad these pancakes were a hit, Brittany! Thanks for making them and leaving a review. I really appreciate it!
Bestest (I know bestest is not a word!) healthy pancakes I have tried so far! You would never know there’s no flour in them. Great option for those who cannot have flour in their diet.
So glad these pancakes were a hit, Berenice! Thanks for making them and coming back to leave a review. I really appreciate it!
These pancakes rock. I’ve been making them for my daughter since she was about 9 months old. I add blueberries instead of chocolate chips (for her 😉 for me I totally leave in the chocolate!). I use mostly oat flour with a bit of oats and mix with a fork – I let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken up a bit.
Delicious, easy, and healthy!
So glad these pancakes were a hit!! Thanks for the review, Katie. I so appreciate it!
I love pancakes on a Saturday morning, especially if they’re healthy! Left out the chocolate, dusted with powdered sugar, top with berries. Delicious!
So glad this recipe was a hit! Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it, Deb.
I made it this morning. Perfect and delicious. Very easy and fast. Top it with peanut butter and slice of banana. Definitely will make it again. Thanks for the recipe!!
So glad these pancakes were a hit! Thanks for making them and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it, Mimy.
These were the best oat blender pancakes I’ve ever made! And I’ve tried a lot of recipes. Topped with peanut butter, maple syrup, and fresh berries.
Ahh yay!! That makes me so happy to hear, Arielle. So glad you loved this recipe. Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
If I was swapping out the yogurt with cultured coconut, how much should I use being that it is somewhat thinner? Love all your recipes.
Hey Michelle – I’m not sure, I’ve never tried it with cultured coconut. Maybe start with 3 TBSP and see if you need to add any more? Let me know how these turn out for you if you try them!
Yum!!! I am on Weight Watchers and hacked these down to one point each. I omitted the chocolate and used nonfat greek yogurt. I cooked a couple before realizing I forgot to add the protein powder that I wanted to add. I added the protein powder and was pleasantly surprised to find out that they actually cooked up better with the powder! They came out even more evenly cooked on the inside. Great recipe!
Hey Sarah! Question: Did you modify anything on the recipe when adding the protein powder? I really liked your idea of adding the protein powder in the recipe. Thanks in advance!
Delicious and easy! I added flax seed and spinach, plus a little orange zest, and they came out great.
So glad you loved this recipe! Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it, Kim!
Hi. Great pancakes. Kid APPROVED! 🙂
Will the batter keep in the fridge if premade? If so, how long?
Thank you.
Hey Holly, I haven’t made the batter for these in advance, but I would assume it would be just fine for a day or two in the fridge. You might just need to add a little extra liquid if the batter thickens up in the fridge. Let me know how they turn out if you try it!
I loved this recipe so much! Usually im not that big Of a fan of banana pancakes but these are great! The greek yogurt gives them the perfect balance in flavor.
Have u storaged this pancakes in any way? Do u think that i could freeze them and then just put them in the microwave?
Again congrats for this recipe i love it so much!
You can store extra pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge or in the freezer. They should freeze and re-heat just fine.
I love your recipes so much that we never have enough. Would there be a way to add a recipe multiplier to your site?
Hey Leyla! I’ll look into it, but it’s not always that easy to add those types of features to the blog.:) You can always times all the ingredients by 2 or 3 based on how many servings you want!
Do you think I could try using ricotta instead of greek yogurt?
Hey Alice, I’m not sure about ricotta, but I have used cottage cheese in pancake recipes a lot, so I bet it would work! Let me know if you end up trying it and how it turns out. 🙂
Hi, if I have oat flour instead of rolled oats, how much should I use?
This recipe looks soooo good and I can’t wait to try it!
We loved this recipe, as vegetarians and athletes, we had the best morning chowing these cakers. A fellow vegan vegetarian found this on Pinterest and we could not contain our excitement. these are the PERFECT breakfast. reading the reviews we thought it was all health moms that eat cardboard and love it, THAT IS NOT US. we loved these. easy to make and easier to eat.
Ahh that makes me so happy to hear!! SO glad these pancakes were a hit. Thanks so much for trying them and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it. <3
OMG so good and healthy! Thank you for share
Hi
Do you think I can use quick cooking steel cut oats instead of old fashioned rolled oats?
I just came upon your website and the recipes look great. Can’t wait to try many of them.
I wouldn’t recommend using steel cut oats as they are much harder than rolled oats, but you could use quick cooking oats if you have those on hand!
I am on WW and wanted pancakes for breakfast. I found your recipe and on WW it is 2 pts on the Blue plan. These are great pancakes. I added some fresh blueberries to them on the first side and WOW. Thank you for sharing.

Hi, can I make these without the banana? Is there a substitute you could suggest? Could I possibly increase the yogurt?
Thank you! I’ve enjoyed so many of your recipes and I would love to try these as well.
Hey Sonya – I haven’t tried this recipe without a banana, so I’m not sure. You could certainly try it with more yogurt or maybe applesauce? It might be too liquidy though. You might just have to play around with it and add more oats if it’s too much liquid. Let me know if you try it without the banana and how it turns out!!
So delicious and so easy, why have I never made pancakes this way before?!!! Will be making these regularly, thanks for the recipe x
Ahh yay!! That makes me so happy to hear, Gemma! I’m so glad you enjoyed these pancakes. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and star rating. I so appreciate it. <3
I made a double batch(because I like pancakes in the freezer for a fast brakfast!)and did alter it a little bit. I swapped out some of the oats for some quinoa flakes, I used Coyo unsweetened coconut yogurt, and I added in a little coconut sugar.
All in all, the flavor is good….they are just a little softer inside then regular cakey-type pancakes. M<aybe my bananas were too bi, not sure. Could you maybe give an approximate cup measurement of the banana amount you usually use? Bananas can really vary in size.
Overall, a very good pancake option and I think swapping out the chocolate chips for blueberries (as another reviewer did) sounds good too!
Hey Melissa – I used a medium banana. It definitely could have been the size of your banana or maybe the yogurt was more liquidy than Greek yogurt, which is the reason they were soft inside? I’m glad they still turned out for you and you enjoyed them. I hope you get a chance to try them again! 🙂
Always looking for an easy GF pancake. My 10 month old and I ate the whole batch. 😉 Replaced the chocolate chips with cut up fruit. Thanks!
Yay!! So glad you guys enjoyed this recipe! Thanks for coming back to leave a comment and star rating, it means the world to me! <3
Can you use a non dairy yogurt instead?
I haven’t tried it with a non-dairy yogurt, but I think it should work. I’ll have to test it soon and report back. If you decide to experiment and try, let me know how they turn out!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I finished a detox and was craving pancakes but didn’t want to go crazy and eat regular ones with all the processed flour and sugar. I made these with unsweetened cacao nibs instead of the chocolate chips, and agave syrup instead of maple. They were amazing! I don’t even think I’ll need to eat regular pancakes having these! They were so filling and delicious! 🙂
Yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed these pancakes, Karen! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment and star rating. It’s super helpful to other readers. 🙂

These turned out fantastic! I’m not a big chocolate girl so I didn’t do the chips but I’ll add more cinnamon next time for extra flavor. Regardless, they were so good and I am always down for a guilt free meal… I ate the whole batch and didn’t feel bad about it.
