Start your day with a good morning when you make these high-protein Greek Yogurt Pancakes with Oat Flour. Adding yogurt to your pancakes creates thick, fluffy, protein-packed pancakes (17 grams per serving- no protein powder needed!) that are healthy, delicious, and perfect for meal prep.

These Greek yogurt pancakes are the perfect way to support healthy eating habits without sacrificing flavor. They’re super simple to make and packed with protein and fiber to keep you satisfied and energized all morning. A healthy and delicious way to start your day!
I like combining whole wheat flour and oat flour for a wholesome, fiber-filled base. Then, I add creamy Greek yogurt and eggs (or egg whites, if you prefer!) to give these pancakes a big protein boost.
The result is a stack of thick, fluffy pancakes that are as nourishing as they are delicious. Top them with your favorite fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or even a spoonful of nut butter for a breakfast that feels like a treat but fuels your body like a healthy eating pro.
Each serving of these pancakes delivers 17 grams of protein! If you want to add even more protein to this meal, you can:
- Top them with an extra dollop of yogurt or some cottage cheese
- Serve them with hard-boiled eggs or whites on the side
- Make a cup of creamy, dreamy, high-protein hot chocolate to wash them down
- Serve them with some turkey bacon or homemade apple chicken sausage
Remember! Eating clean and delicious doesn’t mean giving up flavor—these pancakes prove you can have it all! 🥞✨
PROTEIN POWER TIP! I used to think that egg white muffins and cottage cheese scrambles were the only way to enjoy a high-protein breakfast! But I now know you can easily turn your breakfast favorites into nutritious high-protein meals with creativity! Protein french toast, protein banana bread, and cottage cheese pancakes are some of my good morning staples – and now I have these Greek yogurt pancakes to add to my rotation.
Ingredients you’ll need
You’ll be happy to know that these Greek yogurt pancakes only require a handful of everyday ingredients. Here’s all you’ll need:
- Oat Flour has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor and is a fantastic way to add fiber to your pancakes. You can make it from scratch (all you need are rolled oats) or buy it at the grocery store! I love the hearty texture it adds to this recipe.
- Whole Wheat Flour balances the oat flour by making the pancakes light yet filling. It adds a subtle nuttiness, and the extra fiber keeps you full longer—perfect for starting your day strong.💪
- Coconut Sugar is one of my go-to’s for natural sweetness. It has a lovely caramel-like flavor without spiking your blood sugar as much as refined sugar might.
- Greek Yogurt is the star of the show! Greek yogurt makes the pancakes rich and hearty! It also adds a good dose of protein to the recipe.
- Eggs (or Egg Whites) are essential for structure and fluffiness! They also help to add even more protein to the mix. Egg whites also work if you want to lighten things up or add more protein! Just remember, you need two egg whites for every egg!
- Almond Milk thins out the batter and gives it the perfect consistency. You can use any milk you prefer here (oat, cow, cashew, etc..). They would all work!
- Baking Powder + Salt, these pantry staples are the magic duo for fluffy pancakes! Baking powder helps them rise, and the salt balances the flavors.
- An Extra Touch of Sweetness: if you want to enhance the flavor even more, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the batter. It’s optional but perfect for anyone who likes a sweeter pancake flavor.
How to make Greek yogurt pancakes
Helpful tips
- Don’t flatten the pancakes: As pancakes are cooking, do not use your spatula to press down on the tops. This will release the air pockets, and your pancakes won’t be as light and fluffy.
- Only flip once: When the edges begin to look set, and the bubbles in the batter start to burst, flip. Then, you can lift an edge and peek gently: look for a golden brown color! Flipping back and forth can result in flat pancakes.
- Keep warm: Place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200-degree F oven to keep them warm while you wait for the rest of the batch to cook.
- Toppings: These are so good served with plenty of fresh fruit! I love to top mine with an assortment of berries, mango, and sliced banana. And don’t forget the maple syrup!
Topping Ideas
This is where you get to have some fun! I’ve listed some of my favorite pancake toppings for inspiration, but you can top them with whatever you love! The sky is the limit.
- Fresh Fruit: Strawberries, blueberries, or sliced bananas add natural sweetness and a pop of color.
- Maple Syrup: A classic choice that pairs perfectly with these pancakes.
- Nut Butter: A spoonful of almond or peanut butter adds healthy fats and even more protein.
- Yogurt Drizzle: Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
Storage recommendations
Store any leftover yogurt pancakes in an airtight container or resealable bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
