Light, fluffy waffles with tangy Greek yogurt—protein-rich breakfast ready in 25 minutes.

# Ingredient List:

→ 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.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose 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 small lumps are acceptable.
05 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with melted butter or cooking spray.
06 - Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter per waffle into the preheated iron. Cook until golden brown and crisp, typically 3-5 minutes per batch.
07 - Serve waffles warm with fresh berries, honey, or maple syrup.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt makes these waffles incredibly tender while keeping them protein rich enough to power you through until lunch
  • They freeze beautifully so you can batch cook weekend mornings and still have homemade waffles on busy weekdays
02 -
  • Overmixed batter makes tough waffles so stop as soon as the flour disappears even if you still see small lumps
  • The waffles might seem soft when you first open the iron but they crisp up beautifully within thirty seconds on the cooling rack
03 -
  • Separate the eggs and beat the whites before folding them in for restaurant style height and fluffiness
  • Let the batter rest for five minutes before cooking to let the flour fully hydrate for more tender waffles
