Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I’ve said that before, and I’ll probably continue to keep saying that.

But, let me clarify. While I do love cereal, oatmeal, toast, etc…all my usual breakfast foods, it’s my favorite meal when it involves something like frittatas, overnight oats, french toast bakes, and pancakes. Not just plain ‘ole cereal or toast with jelly.

Since I’m not the best at eating a regular breakfast (mine usually consists of yogurt or cereal and coffee), I love to whip up a more savory breakfast on the weekends. And that’s where these Strawberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes come into play.

See, I do love pancakes, but I have to be in the mood for them. Whenever I go out to breakfast, I usually get some sort of skillet with eggs and hash browns, or an omelet, or something along those lines. The hubster, though, he loves his eggs with a side of pancakes. And when I see those pancakes, my cravings kick in.

Now, you may remember these Blueberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes. These quickly became one of the most popular recipes on Pumpkin ‘N Spice, and for good reason! Soft, thick, fluffy, and on the healthier side. That’s a winning pancake in my opinion!

So, it was time to revamp my old favorite into my new favorite kind of pancake!

If you’re on board the pancake train all the time, then you need to try these Strawberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes. What I love about these are the thick and fluffy texture. I dare you to find a thicker, softer homemade pancake.

And the Greek yogurt. Let’s not forget about that! I love sneaking it into dishes for a healthier alternative to sour cream. And with these pancakes, it helps with the thickness and soft texture.

And last, but certainly not least, the strawberries. Loaded with juicy strawberries and topped with a strawberry glaze, you really can’t get much better than that.

  • Baking powder & baking soda
  • Salt
  • Vanilla Greek yogurt

How to Make Strawberry Pancakes 

Both the homemade yogurt pancakes and the strawberry sauce for the pancakes are so easy to make! 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Can I Use Plain Greek Yogurt? 

Yes, but you’ll lose some of the sweetness and vanilla flavor in the batter. You may want to add a tablespoon of sugar to the batter to compensate. Or, just drizzle more maple syrup on top! 

Can I Use Frozen Strawberries? 

Yes, but you’ll need to thaw and drain them before dicing them. 

Tips for Making Greek Yogurt Pancakes 

  • These pancakes are thick! The cooking time may take slightly longer than regular pancakes because of the thick texture.
  • Fresh or frozen strawberries work perfectly for these pancakes.
  • Save those leftovers! These pancakes make a delicious breakfast (or dinner) later in the week.
