Pancakes are one of my favorite things to make and I have quite a few pancake recipes here at Kim’s Cravings. But of all the pancake recipes I’ve made, this one is honestly my VERY favorite. These pancakes taste and have a texture most reminiscent of classic buttermilk pancakes.
How Do You Make Fluffy Yogurt Pancakes?
These scrumptious pancakes are so easy! You only need 5 simple ingredients and about 20 minutes, so grab your whisk and let’s get to it!
Step 1. Grab two mixing bowls. In one bowl combine the dry ingredients and in the other combine the yogurt and eggs.
Step 2. Now add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and WHISK, WHISK, WHISK!
Step 3. Once all ingredients are well blended, scoop out about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake and plop it down on a heated skillet. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side and you’re on your way to homemade fluffy pancakes!
Tips For Making Yogurt Pancakes:
- My secret to the best fluffy pancake recipe is Greek or regular yogurt. The creaminess factor of the yogurt is what fluffs these pancakes up and makes them light as a cloud!
- I always whisk my pancake ingredients. Adding air into the batter with a whisk works wonders to create the fluff factor and give you the best fluffy stack of pancakes.
- Don’t skimp on the baking powder. It will help to lift the pancakes and keep them oh so fluffy.
- To get pancakes with lift, you need to start with a hot skillet. If the skillet hasn’t heated, the pancakes won’t get that initial lift, and the pancakes will fall flat.
- One other thing that helps the pancakes rise, is to let the batter sit for about 5 minutes before scooping it out.
Meal Prep Yogurt Pancakes
Pancakes are one of my all time favorite breakfast meals to prep ahead of time. These pancakes work so well as leftovers. I like to double the recipe and store leftovers in the fridge or freezer to have on hand for busy mornings. I typically store mine in a zipped-top bag or some type of storage container with a lid that seals. They keep well in the fridge for about a week and in the freezer for up to about 3 months.
The best way to reheat these are straight back in the pan. They will get slightly more crispy (big bonus!) on the outside but still be nice and fluffy on the inside! Feel free to reheat them in the toaster as another option.
If you struggle with eating a healthy breakfast during the week or the mornings feel rushed, make a batch of these fluffy yogurt pancakes ahead of time. You’ll thank yourself later!
What’s The Best Toppings To Serve On Pancakes?
Fluffy gluten-free yogurt pancakes are great topped with fresh berries, bananas and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup! I also love to add some chopped nuts or a dollop of almond butter. Or you can serve them with chia jam if you want!
Trust me, friends, you’re going to want these pancakes in your life. They’re fluffy, pillowy, tender, airy and light, perfectly sweet, surprisingly healthy, easy & insanely delicious!

Fluffy Gluten-Free Yogurt Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (75 g) 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour*
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (5.3 oz.) container nonfat plain Greek yogurt**
Instructions
- Heat griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Spray with a nonstick cooking spray or grease with coconut oil.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small mixing bowl.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs and yogurt.
- Add flour mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until blended. Allow blended batter to rest for about 5 minutes if you want super fluffy pancakes.
- Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup (about 50 grams) to measure out batter for each pancake and cook for about 5 mins on each side. They should be golden brown on each side.
- Enjoy with toppings of your choice.
Notes
**For dairy-free pancakes, non-dairy yogurt works perfectly. ***For nutritional info, each pancake is measured with 1/4 cup batter and is about 50 grams. ****Feel free to add 2 teaspoons granulated or coconut sugar to batter for a sweeter pancake. If you add maple syrup as a topping, you should not need additional sugar in the pancake batter.

Really excited to try these!! Can you provide a more precise measurement for the Greek yogurt? I have 750g container in the fridge. 1 cup? 1/2 cup?
The Greek yogurt measures 2/3 cup or 5.3 ounce container. It will be slightly less than your container. Enjoy!
oh yummy !! and so much healthier for anyone! fluffy and delicious! I weighted the flour and yogurt ( usually comes out to dense for me if I dont) just used a 1:1 gf flour mix. added 2 tsp sugar, was not too sweet. I could see how using flavored greek yogurt would make it taste amazing !! a keeper recipe for sure! thanks so much!
So happy you enjoyed! Thanks so much for your feedback!
These were so good! I will definitely make them again!
Can this be altered a bit to be made into GF Pancake “muffins”?
I’m not for sure… I haven’t tried that, but if you do, let us know how it works out.
Best GF pancake recipe ever! Fluffy & moist, unlike others I’ve tried. Thanks for sharing.
Yay! So happy you enjoyed!
These were so good! Will definitely make again!
This is the best gluten free recipe for pancakes I have ever tried! I only made half the recipe and used Trader Joes gluten free flour and goat milk yogurt as that is what I had on hand. I will be making these every Sunday and can’t wait to see some of your other recipes for gluten free baking!
So happy you enjoyed!! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
These pancakes are delicious and so fluffy!! Also I am on weight watchers and these pancakes come out to only 1 point each which is amazing!! This is my go to pancake recipe now.
Oh yay! That’s awesome! Thanks so much for your comment!
So fluffy and delicious–batter could have fooled me into thinking it was pudding!! I’m glad I used a honey greek yogurt for this.
So glad that you enjoyed, Pamela! Thanks so much for taking time to comment!
Could these be made with rice flour?
I’m not sure, as I’m not familiar with cooking with rice flour. If you give it a try, please let us know how it turns out.
Sure will!
I make my rice flour. I usually replace 1 cup wheat flour for 3/4 cup rice flour+1 egg+1 tablespoon fat.
Your recipe seems well balanced for rice flour.
It was really good. I added a tablespoon of oil because rice flour is extremely dry.
These pancakes are one of my favorite pancake recipes. My whole family gobbles them up and I love that they’re so simple!
My new favorite pancake recipe!
Best healthy and fluffy pancakes ever!
I’m so glad you loved them! They are a favorite of mine too!
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!
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!!!
Okay these were awesome! I love that I’ve found a gluten free option that is so delicious! Thanks for the great recipe. I’ll be making these again and again!
These pancakes are absolutely delicious and worked well with non-dairy yogurt!
Great to know! Thanks so much for your comment!
So good and definitely fluffy! I’ll for sure make again!
Outstanding; I just added some chocolate chips into the batter and topped the pancakes with syrup for an exceptional breakfast.
I followed the exact recipe and just wanted to say they were delish.
Sounds and looks good but I’d have to make a couple changes to fit my new paleo diet restrictions. Almond flour and possibly a coconut yogurt to replace a dairy yogurt… Some ideas to play with so thanks.
You need to give Bob’s Red Mill Paleo flour a try!
These were so good! The best pancake recipe I’ve tried so far! I’ve followed the recipe closely and it turned out perfect! Thank you
I love that these are full of probiotics and they tasted so delicious too! 😀
