1 Egg and Yogurt 5 Minute Dessert Recipe

What makes this so great? It’s everything a modern sweet should be: fast, light, and totally flexible. There’s no baking required, and the results are soft, fluffy rounds with a hint of vanilla and a yogurt tang that makes every bite refreshing. It’s the kind of recipe I share with beginner cooks, busy parents, and anyone who’s tired of washing extra dishes.

No oven needed: You cook this right on the stovetop in a pan.
Uses only 1 egg and pantry staples: No cream, butter, or electric mixers required.
Ready in 5 minutes: From bowl to plate in one quick round of prep.
Soft and tender texture: Thanks to the yogurt, it stays moist even without leavening agents.

If you’ve ever made our banana condensed milk cake or baked no knead donuts, you’ll love the simplicity and speed of this recipe. They share the same energy: minimal ingredients, maximum comfort.

Step by Step to Make This 5 Minute Yogurt Dessert

Ingredients

175g of 00 flour
5 tbsp of yogurt
2 tbsp of sugar
2 tbsp of oil
1 egg
2 tsp baking powder
1 sachet of vanilla sugar

Instructions

1. Mix the Batter

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients: flour, yogurt, sugar, oil, egg, baking powder, and vanilla sugar.
Mix well with a whisk or fork until a smooth, lump free batter forms.

2. Heat the Pan

Place a non stick pan on medium heat and lightly grease with oil.

3. Cook Each Round

Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan and gently spread into a round shape.
Cook until small bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown.

4. Repeat and Serve

Transfer the dessert to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm, as is or topped with fruit, honey, or a dusting of cinnamon.
