Oh yes.
I seem to go through pancake spurts. There are times where I forget how much I love a good stack of pancakes on Saturday mornings. Then there are also times where I can’t believe how I forgot how much I love pancakes. There’s nothing quite like twirling a bite of pancakes in a puddle of maple syrup and trying to put it in your mouth before the syrup drips down your chin.
Am I right?
I’ve been seeing pancakes made with Greek yogurt all around the web lately — specifically here and here. After I wiped the drool off of my face, I knew I had to make my own last weekend. They were nothing short of amazing.
Chia Seed Greek Yogurt Pancakes (makes 4 six inch pancakes)
- 1/3 cup gluten free flour
- 2 tbsp. almond flour
- 1/8 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp. agave (or any sweetener)
- 1 egg or 2 egg whites
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
- 1-2 tbsp. almond milk (if needed to thin out batter a little more)
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup gluten free flour, 2 tbsp. almond flour, 1/8 tsp. baking soda, and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Stir to combine all ingredients.
- Add 1 egg (or 2 egg whites), 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, and 1 tbsp. agave to the dry ingredients. Whisk until smooth. If the batter still needs a little more liquid, you can add 1-2 tbsp. of almond milk. The batter should be fairly thick, but should still drop off of a spoon.
- Gently fold in the tbsp. of chia seeds.
- Heat a greased griddle to medium high heat and pour batter onto griddle (I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup to section out the batter). Cook on one side until bubbles start to form on the outsides of the pancakes (about 2-3 minutes). Once bubbles have formed, flip and cook for an additional minute on the other side.
- Serve immediately with favorite pancake toppings.
I hope you haven’t eaten breakfast yet. And if you have, please make these for dinner. And serve with some banana cream sauce.

Great idea with these! I bet they would keep me full for a long time too, something I always look for in breakfasts. Plus instead of plain Greek yogurt, other flavors could be used too, if thats what you are in the mood for
Thank you for the idea Chelsea!
Yummmmmmy, girl! These are looking fantastic for a Saturday breakfast- especially with the chia seed add in!
I am eating breakfast right now :p
Looks so good! I still want to make the almond flour ones though that you made!
Happy Thursday! <3
I’ve eaten breakfast and lunch….but good thing I still have one more meal under a belt (snacks not included)
! I have this thing where I prefer to eat breakfast out of a bowl but on the occasional times that I do whip up waffles or pancakes, I always wonder what kept me away for so long!
I was craving pancakes today! I will definitely be making these post-workout
mmmm i love pancakes! i’ve never made them with greek yogurt, so i must try it!
oh man! I’m traveling on business but this is going to be made as soon as I get back home!! YUM!
I’m so with you on eating up your pancakes and getting syrup all over everything. I do a combo of melted coconut oil + syrup and never fail to get drops of it on my shirt. Whatever.
Pancakes are my favorite breakfast for sure. I had them last weekend topped with your PB Banana sauce
My favorite topping is plain Greek yogurt and fresh berries, drizzled with peanut butter.
Perfect recipe before the weekend! I have just recently tried Chia seeds and I love them!
I’ve yet to try almond flour- can you get it in bulk at the everyday grocery store?
Theses look delicious!
Yum! I took tomorrow off from work, and I have family in town. I hope I remember to make these for everyone after I hit the gym!
i go in pancake spurts too… i’m currently in one, so i must make these soon! they look great and satisfying too.
one, I just pinned that ‘nana cream sauce. ALL OF THOSE THINGS are items I own. so I need to make it stat.
two, I’m the same exact way with pancakes. I forget for a while how much I love them, have them again randomly, and fall in love with them all over again. and then I just can’t stop eating them.
A scoop of vanilla bean on top, and you’ve got something!
Yumyumyum! I was never a big pancake fan until I started making them recently. Now I love em
These look perfect! I will have to make sure I save some greek yogurt this week so I can make them this weekend. Thanks for the great recipe!
I could seriously consider a second breakfast right now because there’s always room for pancakes in my belly!
lol eating breakfast as I read this! But I’ve heard about Greek yogurt pancakes too, I’ll have to give them a try!
These look wonderful! I have so many chia seeds just begging to be used!
Weekend breakfast right there – I’m comin for ya!
I love making pancakes with cottage cheese, but for some reason my attempts at making them with Greek yogurt haven’t been as successful.
I’m definitely going to have to make these! I’ll have to make them with WW flour instead of GF and almond flour, so hopefully that’ll still work!
Love love! I need to make this
How about lunch? I’m hungry, it’s 12:06pm and these sound good!
yummmmy! and this is why i should read your posts BEFORE i eat breakfast! can’t wait to try them this weekend.
Oh my these look scrumptious!!! I live in Mexico (temporarily) and cant find Greek yogurt anywhere : ( When I go back home to the states, I might just buy out the whole store… Thanks for the recipe (its bookmarked).
Okay, so I hadn’t heard of chia seeds before reading your blog… So I did some research on them, and I’m not quite sure how I’ve lived my whole life without this food! According to some of the “benefits” lists I’ve looked at, chia seeds will practically do your taxes for you if you ask them nicely enough.
Thanks for yet another great food suggestion! And, I am totally making these pancakes this weekend!
These look so good! And easy to make
These look delicious! I loved Tessa’s idea, mixing up the flavor of the greek yogurt! I think vanilla could be pretty tasty! I think I’m going to have to try that! ha thanks for the idea!
Since my husband is working tonight, I was planning on making an easy dinner of omelets and pancakes for me and my kids. Always a crowd pleaser around here! I will have to give greek yogurt pancakes a try!
Today must be a pancake day; I just made some of my oatmeal pancakes, and have seen a couple of other blogs with pancake recipes today too!
Ohh I am always in the mood for pancakes and these look fabulous! Love the protein boost from the yogurt and nutrition boost from the chia! Can’t wait to make them this weekend!
I know, right? Pancakes are all over the blogging world at the moment. And I consider myself very hip, happening and ‘right-on’, so I must ensure that I get some pancake-flipping happening in my kitchen this weekend!
Can I eat them for breakfast AND dinner?
I just purchased my first package of chia seed…and now I know the first recipe I’m going to use them in!…Your pancakes look perfect…thick yet light…Is the texture as pillowy and light as they look…or does the nut flour give a more density?..Either way they look wonderful and thanks for sharing your culinary prowess with all of us!

Oops…forgot to ask…but are there better results in letting the batter “rest” awhile (20-30 or more?)…before cooking the pancakes?…Thanks for any enlightenment!
these look awesome!! so fluffy!
I have yet to make pancakes with Greek yogurt! I’ve got to get on that asap!
These look so good! Greek yogurt is a great addition to so many things, I LOVE it!
Awwwwhhhhh, they look GORGEOUS!!!! Do you think coconut “greek” yogurt would work?
Wow. I am currently eating these for breakfast right now and they are incredible! I have had so many pancake failures in the kitchen, and these surely are a keeper. I served mine with 1 tablespoon Justin’s vanilla almond butter and frozen blueberries defrosted in the microwave. Thanks for sharing! Just curious…is this recipe for 1 or 2 servings?
One for sure!
I’m glad you liked them!
I whipped up a batch of these pancakes and – wow – they were AMAZING! I especially love how they poofed up when I flipped them over.
Then, because I loved them so much, I make another batch, but this time x5 so I can stuff them in the freezer for quick breakfasts.
Thanks for the recipe!
P.S. I sub’d white whole wheat for both flours and left out the cinnamon and sugar due to personal preference
Finally got around to trying these today. So good! Thanks for sharing!
