Print Recipe

Light, fluffy, and protein-packed pancakes made with Greek yogurt and oat flour, featuring juicy bursts of fresh blueberries. A quick and healthy breakfast or brunch option that is naturally gluten-free and adaptable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup rolled oats, ground into oat flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking oil or butter for the pan (preferably coconut oil)

Instructions

  1. Place 1 cup of rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until finely ground into oat flour, about 30-45 seconds. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Stir gently to mix.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup until smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil or butter to coat the surface.
  7. Scoop about ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  8. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  9. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F/95°C) while finishing the batch.
  10. Serve warm with extra berries or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs for better binding and fluffiness. If batter is too thick, add 1 tablespoon milk to loosen. Cook on medium heat to avoid burning. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the rest. For vegan adaptation, use flax eggs and plant-based yogurt.
