Light, fluffy waffles with Greek yogurt for a protein-packed breakfast 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 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 It:
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 protein from Greek yogurt keeps you satisfied for hours without the heavy feeling that comes from traditional waffle batter
- These waffles freeze beautifully so you can meal prep breakfast for the whole week in one go
02 -
- Overmixed batter creates tough, rubbery waffles so stir gently and stop as soon as the flour disappears
- Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking gives the flour time to hydrate for even better texture
03 -
- Separate the eggs and whip the whites before folding them in for extra fluffy waffles that rise even higher
- Preheat your oven to 200°F and keep finished waffles warm on a baking sheet while you cook the rest
