Greek Yogurt Pancakes Blueberry Compote (Printable)

Fluffy Greek yogurt pancakes topped with sweet blueberry compote make a satisfying, protein-rich breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pancake Batter

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, nonfat or low-fat
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
04 - 1/2 cup oat flour or all-purpose flour
05 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
08 - 1 1/2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 - 2 to 3 tablespoons milk, dairy or plant-based

→ Blueberry Compote

11 - 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
12 - 2 tablespoons water
13 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
14 - 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

→ Optional Garnish

15 - Greek yogurt for serving
16 - Fresh blueberries for serving
17 - Chopped nuts for serving

# Method:

01 - Combine blueberries, water, lemon juice, and maple syrup in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until berries burst and sauce thickens slightly, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract until well blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, stirring thoroughly.
04 - Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. Add milk one tablespoon at a time to achieve a thick yet pourable batter consistency.
05 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil.
06 - Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until golden brown and cooked through.
07 - Transfer pancakes to serving plates while warm. Top with blueberry compote, additional Greek yogurt, fresh blueberries, and chopped nuts as desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're genuinely filling without that heavy, sluggish feeling regular pancakes leave behind.
  • The blueberry compote comes together in the time it takes to make your coffee, so breakfast feels restaurant-quality without the effort.
  • Frozen pancakes reheat beautifully, which means weekday mornings just got a lot easier.
02 -
  • Don't skip the separate mixing of dry and wet ingredients—this is what keeps your pancakes tender instead of rubbery.
  • The batter will be noticeably thicker than traditional pancake batter because of the Greek yogurt, which is exactly right and actually makes flipping easier.
03 -
  • If your batter seems too thick after mixing, remember that it will loosen slightly as it sits for a minute—resist the urge to add milk immediately.
  • Don't flip your pancakes repeatedly or press them down on the griddle; just let them cook undisturbed and they'll puff up beautifully on their own.
