Greek Yogurt Waffles (Printable)

Light, fluffy waffles with protein-rich Greek yogurt for a healthy breakfast twist.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 cup Greek yogurt
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
04 - 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more 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

# 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 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 (adjust according to your iron's size), 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 Advice:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt creates this incredible texture that is somehow both fluffy and substantial, not like those airless diner waffles that disappear in two bites
  • These waffles freeze beautifully, which means I can make a double batch on Sunday and have breakfast ready for busy weekday mornings
02 -
  • The batter will be thicker than you expect, but that is exactly right and what gives these waffles their amazing structure
  • Letting the batter rest for just 5 minutes before cooking helps hydrate the flour and makes for an even better texture
03 -
  • Separate the eggs and whip the whites before folding them in for incredibly light and airy waffles that still have substance
  • Keep a plate in the oven at 200°F so you can serve everyone hot waffles at the same time instead of cook and eat in shifts
