Greek Yogurt Waffles (Printable)

Light, fluffy waffles with Greek yogurt for a protein-rich 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

# Steps:

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 incorporated.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, stirring to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
04 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing; 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 iron size. Cook until golden brown and crisp, typically 3-5 minutes per batch.
07 - Serve immediately while warm, topped with fresh berries, honey, or pure maple syrup as desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt creates the most tender crumb while keeping these waffles surprisingly light
  • They reheat beautifully so you can meal prep breakfast for the whole week
  • The protein content means you won't be hungry an hour later like with regular waffles
02 -
  • Overmixing the batter will make tough, dense waffles so stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • Every waffle iron is different so check the first batch after 3 minutes and adjust from there
  • Let the waffles rest on a wire rack rather than stacking them to keep them crispy
03 -
  • Separate the eggs and beat the whites before folding them in for extra fluffy restaurant-style waffles
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for even better texture
