Greek Yogurt Waffles (Printable)
Light, fluffy waffles with Greek yogurt for a protein-rich breakfast that's ready in 25 minutes.
# 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 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
# How To Make It:
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 completely smooth and well combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
04 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently using a spatula or whisk just until the flour is incorporated. Stop mixing when a few small lumps remain—overmixing will result in tough 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 (adjust quantity based on your iron's size). Close the lid and 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 if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The protein from Greek yogurt keeps you full until lunch without that heavy breakfast crash
- These freeze beautifully so you can meal prep breakfast for the whole week in one go
02 -
- Overmixing develops gluten which makes waffles tough instead of tender
- Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking produces even fluffier results
03 -
- Separate your eggs and whip the whites before folding them in for restaurant style height
- A splash of lemon juice in the batter amplifies that yogurt tang beautifully
