Healthy Banana Greek Yogurt Pancakes (4 Ingredients, No Sugar)
If you’re looking for a quick healthy breakfast or snack that feels sweet and comforting, these banana Greek yogurt pancakes are exactly what you need.
They’re made with just 4 simple ingredients — banana, Greek yogurt, egg, and flour — and naturally sweetened with ripe banana, so there’s no added sugar in the batter.
These pancakes turn out soft, tender, and lightly golden, with a creamy texture inside from the banana. They’re perfect for busy mornings, a cozy weekend breakfast, or a quick snack for kids.
I served mine with maple syrup, fresh strawberries, and dark chocolate shavings for that beautiful café-style look, but they’re just as good with simple toppings or even on their own.

How to Make Banana Greek Yogurt Pancakes
In a bowl, mix 1 egg, 130 g Greek yogurt, and 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth.
The batter should be thick and slightly dense, so it doesn’t run off the spoon and coats the banana slices well. If needed, add a little more flour.
Slice 1 banana into rounds about 1 cm thick.
Heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium heat.
Place the banana slices into the pan and spoon a little batter over each one to form small pancakes.
Cook under a lid for a few minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Transfer to paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, strawberries, or dark chocolate.
