Instructions
Step-by-Step Directions
Follow these simple steps to make perfect Banana Cinnamon Yogurt Pancakes every time:
🥄 1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
-
1 cup flour
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tsp cinnamon
-
1/4 tsp salt
Set aside.
🍌 2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In a separate medium bowl:
-
Mash 1 ripe banana until smooth
-
Add 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and maple syrup/honey
-
Whisk until fully combined
🧁 3. Combine Wet and Dry
-
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients
-
Gently mix until just combined — do not overmix
-
If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk (1–2 tbsp)
💡 Pro Tip: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. It helps activate the baking soda for fluffier pancakes.

Lightly grease with butter or spray oil
🥞 5. Cook the Pancakes
-
Use a 1/4 cup scoop to pour batter into the skillet
