Greek Yogurt Waffles (Printable)
Crispy, protein-rich waffles with a tangy Greek yogurt twist. 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 It:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions until ready for use.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and uniform.
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, folding gently with a spatula just until incorporated. Stop mixing when a few small lumps remain—avoid overmixing to ensure light, fluffy 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 - Remove waffles carefully and serve immediately while warm. Top with fresh berries, honey, maple syrup, or additional Greek yogurt for extra protein.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The Greek yogurt creates the most incredible texture, light yet substantial with just enough tang to cut through the sweetness
- They reheat beautifully so you can meal prep breakfast for the whole week without sacrificing quality
02 -
- Overmixing the batter will make tough, rubbery waffles, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
- The batter will seem thick, but that is exactly right and will give you those lovely fluffy pockets inside
03 -
- Separate your eggs and whip the whites before folding them in for extra loft, like a restaurant waffle
- Add a spoonful of lemon zest or cinnamon to the dry ingredients for a fragrant twist that feels special
