Servings & Timing

Servings: 6–8 pancakes
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Total Time: 9 minutes

Ingredients List

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons erythritol or any sugar-free sweetener (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional but enhances flavor)

Optional Add-Ins (Still 0 Points)

  • Cinnamon
  • Almond extract
  • A splash of unsweetened almond milk (if batter becomes too thick)

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

  • Greek yogurt
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract

Once smooth, sprinkle in:

  • Baking powder
  • Sweetener (if using)
  • Pinch of salt

Whisk until you have a thick, creamy batter.


Step 2: Heat Your Pan

Spray a non-stick pan with 0-calorie cooking spray.

Heat on medium-low — this is important because protein pancakes burn faster than flour pancakes.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

Scoop 1–2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake.

Cook:

  • 2–3 minutes per side, until bubbles form
  • Flip gently and cook another 1–2 minutes

Repeat until all batter is used.

The pancakes should be soft, golden, and fluffy.


Step 4: Serve

Serve warm with optional toppings:

  • Fresh berries
  • Sugar-free syrup
  • Cinnamon dusting
  • Fat-free whipped topping
  • A spoon of Greek yogurt

Everything above can still be 0 points depending on your plan.


Additional Notes

  • If batter is too thick, add 1–2 teaspoons water or almond milk.
  • For thicker, soufflé-style pancakes, cook on low heat and cover with a lid.
  • Great for meal prep — they reheat beautifully.
