Crispy, golden waffles made with Greek yogurt for extra protein and a tangy flavor. Ready in 25 minutes.
# 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 Cook:
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 Tips:
01 -
- The Greek yogurt creates such a tender crumb while packing in 11 grams of protein per serving
- These freeze beautifully so you can meal prep breakfast for the whole week ahead
02 -
- Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking results in fluffier waffles, as the flour absorbs moisture and relaxes
- Resist the urge to open the iron early, no matter how amazing it smells, or you will sacrifice that perfect crispy exterior
03 -
- Separate the eggs and whip the whites separately for the fluffiest waffles you have ever made
- The leftover waffles reheat beautifully in a toaster oven, restoring that crisp exterior perfectly
