Notes

Ingredient Substitution Notes

Oat flour. Make your own or use store bought. Or, substitute the oat flour with all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, or all-purpose gluten-free flour.
All-purpose flour. I really feel like the blend of flours is important in this recipe. The addition of all-purpose flour with oat flour makes these pancakes more hearty and easy to flip. You can substitute gluten-free all purpose flour, whole wheat flour or more oat flour (but if you make this choice the pancakes will be more delicate).
Vanilla Greek yogurt. If you use plain Greek yogurt you may need to adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe. Or, use a flavored yogurt for different varieties.
Granulated sugar. Any granulated sugar works well in this recipe! For a refined sugar free version use coconut sugar or honey.
Milk. Any dairy-free or regular dairy milk works perfectly in these healthy greek yogurt pancakes.
Mix ins. you can add up to half cup of mix ins like chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc.

Store

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Freeze

To freeze, cool pancakes completely. Lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and put them in the freezer until they have hardened. Then transfer the frozen pancakes to an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster or microwave.

Prepare in Advance

To prepare the night before: combine the wet ingredients in a glass bowl with a lid and store the mixture in the refrigerator overnight. Then combine the dry ingredients and store the mixture at room temperature. Then mix them together in the morning and cook!
