Greek Yogurt Waffles (Print)
Light, fluffy waffles with protein-rich Greek yogurt for a healthy breakfast. Ready in 25 minutes.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 1 cup Greek yogurt (240 g)
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
04 - 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for greasing
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
06 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (155 g)
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 extract until smooth and well combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, stirring to ensure even distribution.
04 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula just until incorporated. Do not overmix; small lumps are acceptable and will result in lighter waffles.
05 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with melted butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
06 - Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the waffle iron, adjusting quantity based on your iron's size. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
07 - Remove waffles carefully and serve immediately with fresh berries, honey, or pure maple syrup.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The tang from Greek yogurt creates this subtle brightness that balances perfectly with maple syrup
- These waffles stay crispy longer than any other recipe I've tried, thanks to the protein structure
- One batch powers you through a whole morning without that post-breakfast crash
02 -
- Overmixing the batter makes tough, rubbery waffles, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
- Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking results in fluffier waffles
- Never open the waffle iron early, even if you're curious, or you'll tear the waffle apart
03 -
- Separate the eggs and whip the whites, then fold them in at the end for restaurant-style fluffy waffles
- Add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter for an incredibly bright, fresh flavor
