Healthy Greek Yogurt Pancakes! An easy, delicious and nutritious breakfast recipe that your whole family will love! Gluten-free, refined sugar free and freezer-friendly!

My love for breakfast knows no bounds. I could seriously eat breakfast food all day every day and never get tired of it. Smoothies? Always. Oatmeal? Sign me up! Muffins? My love language.

These Healthy Oatmeal Greek Yogurt Pancakes have become my go-to recipe when I want to make a special breakfast for my family! They’re super fast to make, made with vanilla Greek yogurt, contain zero refined sugar, and are gluten-free (thanks to oat flour)!

Greek Yogurt Pancakes: Mix ins

What’s not to love about pancakes? Really. They can be all things to all people. My daughter prefers her with cinnamon chips and sprinkles. My son loves his pancakes loaded with chocolate chips! And my hubby is more of a plain with syrup kind of man. I personally love mine slathered with peanut butter and smothered with pure maple syrup (surprise surprise right)?

These pancakes are so healthy that they don’t put you in a pancake coma after you’re finished eating them. Instead, they leave you feeling energized and ready to tackle the day ahead!

What I love about these pancakes is that they are so simple and can hold their own even without maple syrup (although hello, why someone would not douse their pancakes in the best substance ever is beyond my realm of understanding).

How to make Oatmeal Greek Yogurt Pancakes

1. Use a Vitamix

I make my own oat flour in the Vitamix (simply measure your oats, toss them in and turn it on!), but you can purchase it at just about any grocery store!

You can make the batter directly in the container of your Vitamix too!

2. Use an electric griddle

My favorite way to cook pancakes is on an electric griddle. I appreciate being able to set it to a specific temperature without worrying about adjusting the heat at all. You can cook pancakes in a skillet over medium/low heat, but just be sure to watch them carefully and adjust the intensity of your flame as needed.

Oatmeal Greek Yogurt Pancakes: Substitutions

Here’s a list of possible substitutions that can be made in these oatmeal yogurt pancakes!

Oat flour. All-purpose and white whole wheat flour also work well in this recipe!
Vanilla Greek yogurt. Use your favorite Greek yogurt variety!
Coconut sugar. Any granulated sugar works well in this recipe!
Milk. Any dairy-free or regular dairy milk works perfectly in these healthy oatmeal yogurt pancakes!
