Instructions

Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined and fluffy. Then, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar if using. Whisk everything until you achieve a smooth batter without lumps.
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. Pour about ⅓ cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles appear and burst on the surface, signaling the pancake is ready to flip. Carefully flip and continue cooking the other side until it turns golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite additions such as fresh blueberries, maple syrup, extra Greek yogurt, orange zest, or nuts to enhance flavor and texture.

Notes

Use whole wheat flour or a blend with white flour for a healthier option and better texture.
Optional sugar can be omitted or replaced with a preferred sweetener based on dietary needs.
Make sure your griddle or skillet is properly preheated to ensure even cooking and golden pancakes.
Adjust milk quantity slightly if the batter is too thick or thin for your preference.
These pancakes can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast.
