These light and fluffy Blueberry Banana Greek Yogurt Pancakes are sure to keep you satisfied all morning with over 20g of whole food protein! They’re gluten-free thanks to the oats and whipped up in the blender in under 5 minutes!
Did I ever tell you about the time that I placed second in a pancake eating competition?
Yep! I sure did! Granted, I was only competing against one other person and the “competition” took place at my grandma’s kitchen table, but still! I did technically place second in a pancake eating competition, right? 😉 And I did it by eating a stack of pancakes pretty similar to this one…
Okay, okay… so I realize that a stack of eight pancakes isn’t necessarily anything to write home about, but to my scrawny 10-year old self that was basically nothing but spindly arms and legs? It was a big deal!
And for the record, the only reason I lost came in second was because I was competing against my eleven year old male cousin who apparently had a way better strategy than I did. See, he stuck to eating the pancakes on their own, whereas I was all about those sides and toppings…
But come on! How can you say no to that sweet, sweet maple syrup? You can’t! And don’t even talk to me about those sugar-free “syrups” unless you want a stank eye shot your way and an earful of why you shouldn’t be putting that crap in your body. It’s skeevy. That and I’m Canadian – it’s basically a slap in the face.
Speaking of which, did I ever tell you about the time that I did shots of maple syrup? I was young and stupid and I wouldn’t recommend it unless you like the feeling of nausea. For the most part, I’d stick to using it as intended – as a topping for pancakes…
So let’s talk about these pancakes – these light and fluffy blueberry banana Greek yogurt pancakes that have 20g of protein without any protein powder. Nothing but Greek yogurt, eggs, and oats beefin’ up these bad boys!
AND! the entire recipe is a single-serving, meaning you can eat the same stack of 8 pancakes that got me second place in my pancake eating competition all by yourself 😉 Well, maybe not the same, same… since I don’t think Grandma used oats or whipped hers up in the blender… but close enough.
The point is, you kind of need these in your life…

Blueberry Banana Greek Yogurt Pancakes
- Total Time: 20 mins
- Yield: 1 serving, about 6-7 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60 g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 medium, ripe banana (50 g or 1/4 cup [60 ml] mashed)
- 1/2 cup (40 g) rolled oats*
- 2 large egg whites OR 1 large egg
- 1-2 Tbsp (15-30 ml) unsweetened almond milk**
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (35 g) blueberries, fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and coat it with cooking spray or oil. You want to make sure that it’s very hot before you start cooking your pancakes.
- Add all the ingredients except for blueberries to a blender in the order listed and blend on high until the oats are fully broken down and the batter is smooth and frothy, about 1-2 minutes. Fold in the blueberries by hand and allow batter to sit for a few minutes so that it thickens up.
- Pour batter straight from blender onto skillet until desired size of pancakes is reached and cook until the edges have set and bubbles begin to form on the tops of the pancakes, about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat until all the batter is gone, making sure to coat your skillet again with oil between each batch. Top with desired toppings and enjoy!
Notes
* make sure to use certified gluten-free oats if you need these to be gluten-free. ** start with 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of almond milk and only add a second if you feel the batter is too thick.
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins

Someone unfamiliar with Tiranga games may initially have no idea where to begin. A simple explanation of the platform structure can make that first step easier. I would personally look at the available options and account requirements before going further. Monika also believes in reading the applicable terms first, which seems sensible when dealing with any online gaming service.
Using plain whole-milk Greek yogurt instead of buttermilk completely transforms the texture of homemade pancakes. It introduces that necessary lactic acid to activate the baking soda while adding enough dense moisture that the center stays custardy rather than dry or gummy. Caught an engaging exchange covering high-protein breakfast swaps, macro-friendly kitchen hacks, and dialing in daily meal prep over at Veer Game this morning, and skipping watery non-fat tubs in favor of full-fat strained yogurt ensures your hotcakes fluff up tall without collapsing as soon as they leave the griddle.
A common mistake when tossing blueberries into dense batter is stirring them directly into the mixing bowl where they bleed juice and turn the entire mix an unappealing gray-purple. Dropping fresh berries straight onto the wet batter right after ladling it onto the pan lets them sink naturally into the crumb without scorching against the hot metal. A home cook on Jai club was discussing skillet heat management, keeping berries whole, and visual presentation techniques yesterday, and pressing them gently onto the raw top side guarantees each bite bursts with warm fruit without burning sugar into the nonstick coating.
The ripeness level of your bananas dictates whether you need added refined sugar at all. When you pick fruit with deep brown speckles, the starches have completely converted into natural fructose, lending all the sweetness required alongside a splash of vanilla extract. Stumbled into an interesting chat about eliminating refined sugars, natural fruit fermentation, and clean pantry baking on RaxiWin recently, and mashing those overripe bananas until velvety smooth blends them invisibly into the yogurt base without leaving weird stringy fruit pockets.
If you decide to blend rolled oats into oat flour rather than reaching for standard all-purpose wheat flour, let your batter rest on the counter for a solid ten minutes before cooking. Ground oats drink up liquid much slower than processed white flour, so giving the mixture time to hydrate thickens it to the perfect scoopable consistency. Picked up a really well-explained breakdown of gluten-free grain behavior, flour substitution ratios, and batter resting times via Dm First earlier, and letting those soluble fibers swell prevents runny edges that spread out into flat crêpes.

Came across this while researching — glad I did. Very informative.
Thanks for the practical article. The points were helpful for readers comparing options and planning the next step. Ref 3ldkc3.
In Snow Rider, players simply need to control their direction of movement to dodge obstacles—yet it is precisely this minimalism that creates the real challenge.
These turned out perfect. No guilt! My family hesitates with healthy recipes but these disappeared. I had 3 ripe bananas so I adjusted to recipe accordingly. I’ll definitely make these again. Thank you!
These were easy to make and came out great. However, I only got 4 baby pancakes 😅 how did you get 8?! I followed the recipe to a T…
These are the best healthy pancakes I’ve made yet! I’ve tried some other recipes and some weren’t very fluffy or they were just a weird texture, but these were perfectly sweet and fluffy and the blueberry addition is delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe, definitely a keeper.
Finally! After months/years of searching, this is the one banana pancake recipe I’ve found that made my eyes light up when I ate one. Doesn’t need syrup. Made recipe exactly as specified, came out perfectly. These are seriously moist, reasonably fluffy, and delicious.
Pancakes are not my favorite breakfast food but my husband and I love these. Very healthy and delicious. Turn out perfect every time. Thanks for a pancake recipe we really enjoy!
Love this recipe! Such an easy, healthy option when craving pancakes.
Best recipe ever and sooo easy and healthy!!!
Thank you for sharing, will be making this a lot!
Little difficult to flip but got the hang of it after the third one or so. Really delicious, will be making these a lot!
Love this Blueberry Banana Greek Yogurt Pancakes , these pancakes seems delicious , will love to make this one . Thanks for sharing this recipe .
These were fantastic. First time a pancake batter in a blender has ever turned out well. Will be a Tuesday staple now!
they are falling apart and impossible to flip!
Hi.
If I used oat flour would I still need to use the blender?
Also, have you ever put the berries through the blender with the other ingredients?
I used egg whites and blended in a Cuisinart on high for 2 min. They were tasty but heavy. I love the healthy ingredients and will try again. I did find that the ones with lots of blueberries were best.
I use this recipe every Sunday morning. My kids love them too. They are so satisfying.
Hi Amanda,
I made these today and they didn’t turn out light or fluffy. They were actually quite dense and didn’t spread out on the griddle like other batter would. I even added more almond milk to the mix to try and dilute it a little. I followed the recipe to the letter but it seems like it needs more than 1-2 Tbsp liquid.
Hi ! I made these beauties today and unfortunately, they didn’t cook like I wanted them to… Even if I preheated the griddle, I oiled the pan each time , it stuck on the griddle 🙁 … otherwise the taste is really good and very sweet ! The best is that it is naturally sweeten and vegan friendly (I substituted the egg with banana (maybe that’s the problem XD ) ) !
I will retry the recipe to see if it works
nice.
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door—
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as “Nevermore.”
But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
I was only able to get 4panckes from this
This is the best pancakes I’ve made, I even did half oats/half protein powder for some extra protein. it still ended up being so fluffy and delicious..
I’m so glad you enjoyed them, Laura! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and sharing your tip about the protein powder.
Love this recipe! I live in Montana and use huckleberries instead of blueberries:) delicious! Thank you! Can’t believe there’s a one star review on here, this recipe is solid.
I don’t think I’ve ever had huckleberries before, but they sound so good! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review 🙂
I’ve used this recipe dozens of times and loved it! Never ran into any problems at all! Sometimes I switch the blueberries for chocolate chips
The worst recipy ever! It’s impossible to turn the pancake, they are falling apart, as there is no ingredient that would work as a ‘glue’ in the mixture. Unnecessary waste of food…
I’m sorry these didn’t work out for you, Anna. I’ve made this recipe and variations of it countless times and never encountered that problem, so I’m not sure what could have gone wrong. The egg should act as a glue and hold everything together, and if you grease the pan well, there should not be any issues with the pancakes sticking.
I love these pancakes. They turn out for me every time. Today was the first time I tried to do the double batch, and every time I increased the size for the recipe it still only said one egg, but it did increase the egg whites. If you increase the size of the recipe, are you only supposed to use one egg if you’re not doing the egg whites?
