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 1x
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

mine came out as poor flat things. any suggestions?
They’re not meant to be super thick and fluffy pancakes, but if you feel like they’re coming out way too flat, it might be either that your baking powder is a bit old and not leavening properly, that the oats didn’t grind down fine enough, or that you’re spreading out the batter too thinly on the skillet. I hope that helps, Shelley.
Been on a healthy pancake kick lately and this recipe is the best so far!
Thank you, Cabiss! I’m glad you like them.
Ok…LOVING this post. Photos are absolutely beautiful and I am now drooling. Love that these are gluten-free as well! This is happening in my kitchen ASAP. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks so much for your kind words, Sarah! I hope you like them!
I love this pancakes! I do change the recipe a little and they turn out fantastic! I use fat free greek yogurt and skim milk, and also add some cinnamon to the mixture!
Thanks for sharing
I like to watch that show “Too Cute” on animal planet, the one about puppies and kittens? Pretty sure I’m too old to be the demographic for that!
Those pancakes look amazing! Think I’ll have to try them out pronto, looks like something hubby would love.
Your pictures of the trees are just beautiful! I love it.
Oh em gee. These were legit the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Gluten free or otherwise. I was surprised to see they were only one serving. I thought no way can I eat 6 pancakes! Welll I did, and I don’t have to feel bad about it 😍. I love how you feel like you’re eating “regular” pancakes, only light and fluffy instead of super dense. THANK YOU. I’m seriously going to share this recipe with everyone!
I’m so glad that you liked them, Rebecca! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a nice comment 🙂
I tried this recipe today and it was Sooo good but instead of 8 pancakes I could only make 3 and hardly.. Could I’ve done something wrong? I double checked the ingredients for any mistakes but I think I had them right
Im glad you liked them, Olga! And I definitely don’t think you did anything wrong, it really just depends on how much batter you pour into one individual pancake. I make mine about the size of my palm and not too thick – that’s how I end up with 7-8.
I just made these pancakes and they were great! Thank you for the recipe! 🙂 Have a good weekend!
I’m so glad you made them and liked them, Katrina! Hope you have a great weekend as well 🙂
nom nom these pancakes need to get in my belly now! i love blueberry pancakes they are the cats pajamas! im not the breakfast cook in the family though so hopefully my husband wont mind trying something new…just kidding i know he wont mind 😀
Hahaha this reminds me of my childhood – I had eating competitions with my cousin all the time! He usually beat me, except for one Thanksgiving when he was under the weather and I ate more than him lol.
Anyway I’d happily enter an eating competition again if these pancakes were involved – yum!
These look amazing. Imma get on this.
Amanda, I would love to one day enter a date eating competition with you… We could complete against each other OR combine our date love and be a date eating super team! I like the idea of that more 😉
Omg that’s brilliant!! I didn’t even think of dates, but you’re totally right – we’d dominate those suckers!!
Just made these for lunch, delicious. The last number in the directions mentions a peanut butter sauce with chocolate chips though…from the chunky money ones? haha.
… that’s what I get for copy/pasting recipe instructions. Doh! Thanks for letting me know, Cori! I’m glad you liked them!
Nice photos and graphics! Makes me want morning to come soon, so I can try these out!

There’s always breakfast for dinner!
Oh heeeey, sexiest pancakes EVER. Gah, these look amazing! I could easily eat a stack of 8. By the way, that totally counts as a real accomplishment. 😉
Also, I’m loving the look of your site, lady! It’s running much faster too. 🙂
Thanks, Sarah! So good to hear, because I’ve been a stress case for like a week and I’m still paranoid that something is going to go wrong 😆
Holy yum- these need to happen one morning soon!
Hope you like them, Sara!
I definitely think I could place in a pancake eating contest. Especially with these bad boys! Pinned!!
Thanks, lovely lady! Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Ice cream. I’d win any challenge, I swear. And I’d probably pay for it in some way or another lol
Ooo ice cream is a good one. You know those ice cream cakes from DQ? I used to be able to eat like half of one of the big ones in a single sitting. Thank god for speedy childhood metabolisms 😯
I love how this serving of pancakes is so hefty because when I eat pancakes, I go hard! The fluff factor on these is just so incredible, no one shall dare ruin these by topping them with sugar-free maple syrup! That stuff is basically chemicals and is no comparison to regular maple syrup!
Hearing that makes my little Canadian heart all sorts of happy 😀
My favorite shot at the bar was something called a ‘fat pancake’. It was sugar rimmed with vanilla vodka and maple syrup.
… sooooo I’m going to have to see if we have anything like that around here. Although that could be dangerous and I could end up very inebriated.
YES to real syrup – all Tyler had in his place was Aunt Jemima’s-esque so I ran out this week and bought us a giant jug of the real stuff. Soooo much better.
As for a food I could dominate in a food-eating competition…ice cream. Especially if it’s of the Ben & Jerry’s variety.
Eeep! Totally happy danced when I saw your face pop up in my comments! Been missing you around the blog world! 😥
Teehee! Yes! Go you! Way to place in the contest. LOL. But let’s talk about another thing. Like this perfect stack. Can you please teach me your pancake making ways? I flop
I’m probably not the best person to ask – flipping pancakes stresses me out like WHOA. I think the main thing is waiting longer than you think you have to so that they’re for sure done on the bottom. And cooking them over a lower heat so they don’t burn.
There is just something about blueberry pancakes for me! The blueberry syrup was my favorite at IHOP as a kid, even though I’m not sure I could take a shot of it, ugh. As for an eating contest I would dominate anything with meat in my house, though Diana might be up for the challenge so maybe I should reconsider. We definitely have reversed food-gender stereotypes in our family 🙂
And that’s totally awesome! I think it’s so cool that Diana is so passionate about what she eats at such a young age. Took me forever to start paying attention to my food!
Much as I adore real maple syrup and sweet things, syrup shots sound a liiittle bit intense for me 🙂 But it sounds like the perfect thing to top these pancakes – I love the blueberry-banana combo!
😆 It was one of those stupid childhood dare things that you look back at and can’t help but wonder what you were thinking.
Ah, man! I was such a maple syrup snob when I was a little kid. I would have sleepovers at my other friends’ houses and be like, “But that’s not real maple syrup.” Yeah, I was a popular kid. *not Looking forward to trying these guys!
We would have made good friends! –> “Oh, you like maple syrup? Me too! Let’s be friends” 😉
Looks so good! I told my husband that for my birthday tomorrow I wanted breakfast in bed. He was like “Ok! I can do toast and fruit!” hahahahahahahahaha
I told him nope! I want pancakes!
So my house may be burnt down tomorrow morning. Hopefully the pancakes make it though. 😉
Happy Birthday, lovely lady!!! I hope your house is still standing and that your breakfast was amazing 😀
And now I officially want pancakes or some version thereof for breakfast. You converted me, and it’s easy to see why. These are gloriously beautiful. Well done.
Thanks boo! Come over – I’ll whip some up fresh. Maybe we’ll get all fancy and make some sweet lemony sauce to top it with. Swoon.
