Greek Yogurt Pancakes.
It’s what’s for dinner.
And lunch.
And if you’re feeling extra loopy… maybe even breakfast.
Sinseriously.
That’s my new word. It’s like a hybrid of sincerely and seriously and I say it when I’m really sincerely serious. You know… just trying it on for size.
Unfortunately I fear it’s going the way of “fetch,” Gretchen Wieners style.
But pancakes!
I had no intention of making pancakes on Saturday morning, but then I started craaaaving them. We’ve been making a ton of pancakes each week with mashed bananas, but as I began to assemble my ingredients I realized that zero bananas did we have. We also were out of eggs. Ruh roh. The only semi-nonweird ingredient I could find in my fridge that MIGHT work was a container of Greek yogurt. Bingo.
The pancakes were fine indeed. After a few tweaks and tests, I determined that this was my favorite recipe in all the land, and that you should have it. Plus, we ended up eating a LOT of pancakes this weekend because of that… and you know I don’t like to be alone.
Now now… these are not your super fluffy, buttery, traditional pancakes. They won’t be for everyone… but they might be for you. We were both huge fans, however they have a slightly different consistency than your regular faves. Semi-fluffy, almost creamy and delightfully dense. I told you I was obsessed with coconut milk, member? And “obsessed” just means I really have four open cans in my fridge that need used… again.
Anyhoo. These reminded me more of a healthy-tasting buckwheat pancake.
Wait. Not sure I’ve ever had a buckwheat pancake?
But they remind me of what a buckwheat pancake would taste like if I was to have one.
Which is an excellent thing, even if I have no clue what I’m talking about.
Whole Wheat Greek Yogurt Pancakes
makes about 15 pancakes
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups light (canned) coconut milk
1 6-ounce container plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add milk, yogurt, vanilla and honey, whisking until smooth.
Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter into rounds. Let cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Serve with butter, syrup and fruit.
Note: these pancakes are fairly thin and not quick as fluffy as your typical pancakes. I find that they do not reheat very well (like the next morning), but are great when first made. You can replace the whole wheat pastry flour with all-purpose (do not use regular whole wheat), but you may have to decrease the coconut milk by 1/2-3/4 cup.
I like you.

I’m completely on board with “sinceriously” – and these pancakes. As usual, you’ve left me drooling :)
These look extremely mouthwatering. I am loving the greek yogurt/coconut milk combo.
On a completely (or maybe not, since it is food related) subject:
I just tried Trader Joe’s truffle cheese…and it is the most amazing thing ever. Have you tried it? Sorry if I missed that post, but surely it is so good it is worth mentioning again!
Separately, I am also loving TJ’s mini gorgonzola crackers (but not with the truffle cheese.)
I think I would like to have a Trader Joe’s next door to my house.
These sound delicious! I finally made pancakes this past weekend, I had been craving them forever!
i’ve been meaning to make pancakes and now i have a good reason! love the idea of greek yogurt in there.
I love you and your Mean Girls references. And your pancakes for all meals of the day. We really need to be neighbors.
YOU READ MY MIND! I’m literally minutes away from making pancakes (my fav food in life) myself for lunch.. Btw, it’s Natl Pancake Day! :-)
I love that Greek yogurt is finding it’s way into everything these days. Lovely pancakes sinseriously :-P
Fetch may not have happened but sinceriously/sinseriously is going to happen! :)
These look amazing and as it IS National Pancake Day the timing is magnificent.
Wow…these look so delicious….now I won’t be able to get them off my mind because they look so tasty.
Sinseriously…these look A-mazing!
I LOVE the texture and zing of flavor that yogurt adds to pancakes! I’ve never used greek yogurt though, so I’m sure it’s a little different. I’ll give it a try next time. Gorgeous photos as usual, btw!
these sound like absolute perfect. i’m going goo-goo-ga-ga over these pictures and the ingredient list.
These pancakes have my name written ALL over them. I’m a sucker for pancakes for breakfast and add a little dairy and protein! I’m there! I love the little specs of cinnamon in them too. Gorgeous!
We like you back.
Coconut milk in pancakes… yum! All the ingredients sound too good to be true. I pretty much have everything and am totally trying this! Thanks for sharing this deliciousness!
OH em gee. Mouth watering!!! Those look amazing! :)
Wondering why you say to use canned coconut milk? Is there a big difference with using canned vs. the carton coconut milk? Just wondering so I don’t mess up your reputation and feed my husband something not worthy of the how sweet eats name! TIA
Oh yes – I don’t know all the scientific differences but canned coconut milk is a lot creamier and has a higher fat content!
I love the idea here. I too always make pancakes with greek yogurt! Yum.
“sinceriously”=awesome!
Everyone needs pancakes!! And less guilt pancakes? FTW.
Holy Momma! Look at that stack! I’m thinking we need these for supper or lunch, soon.
These look sooooo delicious.
I love that you make most of your stuff with wheat flour!
And these look fabulous. I do love buttery fluffy pancakes but I don’t mind a nice change in texture.
quite possibly my ALL TIME FAVORITE photo of any blog all year…first photo…brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just went to your blog to find a pancake recipe (National Pancake Day) and you posted one today! You’re just that good! :)
I just wanted to say I have been following your blog for several months now and I am really impressed by your photos, they get better and better and more creative! You inspire me to continue writing about my kitchen adventures! Keep up the awesomeness!! :)

…it could also be a hybrid of sinfully and seriously… :)
made these for dinner!! amaaaaaaazzzzzing!!
Sold. Sincerely Serious. These cakes look beyond delicious! I’m contemplating a late night snack just to be able to taste all this goodness!
OMG – that is quite the stack of pancakes! I don’t think I have ever made that many pancakes at one time!
Your like the queen of food porn and I mean that in a good way.
Looks fabulous.
Do they taste a lot like coconut from the milk?
Not at all – you can barely detect it.
Awesome. Definitely doing it then!
Thanks for all your amazing recipes :-)
I am all for coining cheesy words — sinseriously :D
That’s one drool-worthy stack of pancakes deliciousness!!
These look beyond heavenly! I adore greek yogurt, but have never tried using it in pancakes. That obviously has to end soon, I also love the addition of coconut milk. I’ll definitely be making these for my family soon :)
Wow these pancakes will definitely be on my table soon!
Made these last night and they were delicious!! I loved how creamy they were. I can’t wait to make them again!
Made these for breakfast this morning (used regular whole wheat flour instead of pastry flour because that’s what we had) and they were delicious! Thanks so much for sharing such a tasty treat! :)

Fetch! That is the best, I love that reference.
We made these this morning and they were so good!! Love your blog!
Oh my, yes please! I am a pancake lover and am always looking for delicious variations.
These look amazing! I’m a member of the crazy for coconut milk fan club myself. I’ve got at least three different kinds in my fridge at the moment.

oh my goodness – YUM!
Thank you! I have greek yogurt AND canned coconut milk I need to use. Also, I detest buttermilk pancakes, so these look intriguing indeed.
These look wicked, and you always crack me up!
