Yogurt Pancakes without Eggs: fluffy, protein-rich and super easy

Yogurt pancakes without eggs are ready in minutes and are the perfect breakfast for anyone looking to combine flavor and lightness. These super easy pancakes are soft and tender, protein-rich and lightly sweetened: ideal for starting your day with energy without overdoing the sweetness.

My philosophy is to always use as little sugar as possible, because a good sweet comes from the harmony of the ingredients, not from the amount of sweetness.

Ingredients

Let’s see the ingredients needed to make this recipe

  • 1/3 cup plain natural yogurt (I used whole yogurt, but low-fat or lactose-free are fine (about 3.2 oz / 90 g))
  • 1/2 cup milk (I used whole milk, but skim or lactose-free are fine (about 4 fl oz / 120 g))
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (about 100 g (approximately 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp))
  • 1 lemon zest (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • as needed honey (to garnish, or use maple syrup)

Tools

  • 1 Frying pan
  • 1 Silicone brush
  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Spoon
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Lemon zester

Steps

  • In a bowl pour the milk, the yogurt, the two teaspoons of sugar and the grated zest of one lemon.

    With a fork or a whisk start to mix these ingredients together.

    Add also the teaspoon of oil and then the sifted flour and baking powder.

    Continue to stir until combined.

  • Once you have a smooth batter without lumps, it will be ready to go into the pan.

    Pour a little oil into the pan, heat it well and use a silicone brush to coat it evenly.

    Pour a heaping tablespoon of batter for each pancake you make.

    They will be a bit smaller but super soft and delicious.

    If you prefer larger, thinner pancakes, simply spread a larger circle of batter in the pan.

    Cook them two minutes per side; when you see the classic bubbles on the surface it means they are ready to be flipped.

    If you prefer sweeter pancakes you can dust them with plenty of powdered sugar or add a bit more sugar to the batter.

    Once ready, you can enjoy the yogurt pancakes without eggs dressed as I did with just honey, or with fruit, jam, spreads, maple syrup — whatever your imagination suggests.

    Enjoy!

How to store yogurt pancakes without eggs and keep them soft

If you have leftover yogurt pancakes without eggs, you can store them in the refrigerator in a closed container for up to 2 days. This way they will remain soft and fluffy as if freshly made.
To preserve them best, cover them with plastic wrap while they are still warm or heat them slightly in a pan before serving.
Some enthusiasts prepare the batter the night before: the pancakes cook quickly in the morning, remaining soft and tasty.
Storing the pancakes correctly allows you to enjoy them in the following days without losing texture or flavor.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
