Greek Yogurt Waffles (Printable)

Light, fluffy waffles with Greek yogurt for a protein boost

# Ingredient List:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 cup Greek yogurt
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup milk
04 - 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra 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

# Directions:

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, 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 protein boost means you stay satisfied straight through until lunch without that post-pancake crash
  • They somehow manage to be pillowy soft inside while developing this incredible crispy exterior that actually holds up under syrup
02 -
  • Overmixing creates tough waffles so stop as soon as the flour disappears into the batter even if it looks slightly uneven
  • Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking gives the flour time to hydrate and results in more evenly cooked waffles
03 -
  • Separate your eggs and whip the whites before folding them in for next-level fluffiness that rivals any breakfast spot
  • Adding a tablespoon of citrus zest directly to the dry ingredients transforms these into something bright and sophisticated
