Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 –3 tablespoons milk
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon honey. Use a whisk to blend everything together thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and fully combined. Take a moment to make sure the eggs are fully incorporated into the yogurt so the batter will have an even texture and cook properly.
  • Add ¾ cup oat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a small pinch of salt directly into the bowl with the yogurt mixture. Using the whisk or a spoon, gently mix the ingredients together until a thick pancake batter begins to form. Stir slowly and avoid overmixing, as mixing too aggressively can make the pancakes dense instead of light and fluffy.
  • Check the consistency of the batter. If it appears too thick or stiff, add 2–3 tablespoons of milk, one tablespoon at a time, while stirring gently. Continue mixing until the batter becomes smooth and slightly pourable but still thick enough to hold its shape when poured onto the skillet.
  • Place a nonstick skillet or pancake griddle on the stovetop and heat it over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface using a small amount of butter, olive oil, or cooking spray to prevent the pancakes from sticking and to help them develop a beautiful golden color.
  • Once the skillet is warm, use a measuring cup to pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Leave some space between each pancake so they have room to spread slightly and cook evenly.
  • Allow the pancakes to cook undisturbed for about 2–3 minutes. During this time, you will start to notice small bubbles forming on the surface of the batter and the edges beginning to look slightly set. These are signs that the pancakes are ready to flip.
  • Carefully slide a spatula under each pancake and gently flip it over. Cook the second side for another 1–2 minutes, until the pancakes are golden brown and fully cooked through in the center.
  • Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding a small amount of oil or butter to the skillet if needed between batches.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately while they are warm and fluffy. Top them with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of granola for extra flavor and texture.
