Greek Yogurt Waffles (Print)
Light, fluffy waffles with protein-rich Greek yogurt for a healthy breakfast twist.
# What You Need:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 1 cup Greek yogurt
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
04 - 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for greasing)
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
06 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1 tablespoon sugar
08 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
# How to Make:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
03 - In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
04 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until incorporated. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
05 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with melted butter or cooking spray.
06 - Pour batter into the waffle iron, using about 1/3 cup per waffle (adjust according to your iron's size), and cook until golden brown and crisp, 3-5 minutes per batch.
07 - Serve warm with your favorite toppings—fresh berries, honey, or maple syrup.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The Greek yogurt makes these waffles surprisingly light while adding a lovely tang that balances perfectly with sweet toppings
- You get a protein boost that actually keeps you full until lunch, unlike regular waffles that leave you hungry an hour later
02 -
- Overmixing the batter will make tough, dense waffles instead of fluffy ones
- The batter will be thicker than regular waffle batter because of the yogurt, and this is completely normal
03 -
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to fully hydrate for even better texture
- Separate the eggs and fold in whipped egg whites at the end for incredibly airy, restaurant style waffles
