Greek Yogurt Waffles (Printable Version)
Crispy golden waffles made tangy and protein-rich with Greek yogurt, ready in 25 minutes for a wholesome morning meal.
# 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 until ready.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, whisking 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 tender 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. Cook until golden brown and crisp, typically 3-5 minutes per batch.
07 - Serve waffles warm with desired toppings such as fresh berries, honey, maple syrup, or additional Greek yogurt.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Protein rich from Greek yogurt so you stay full longer without the heavy feeling
- The batter comes together in minutes and actually tastes better with a brief rest
02 -
- Overmixing develops gluten and makes waffles tough, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
- Letting the batter rest for 10 minutes while the iron heats up noticeably improves the texture
03 -
- Add cinnamon or lemon zest to the batter for an extra flavor dimension that surprises everyone
- Substitute half the flour with whole wheat for nuttiness and fiber without compromising texture
