Greek Yogurt Waffles (Printable)
Light, fluffy waffles with Greek yogurt for protein and tangy flavor. 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 Steps:
01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions until ready for use.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and well incorporated.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, whisking to ensure even distribution.
04 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula just until incorporated. Do not overmix—small lumps are acceptable and will yield tender 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 waffle iron, adjusting based on your iron's capacity. Cook until golden brown and crisp, typically 3-5 minutes per batch.
07 - Serve waffles immediately while warm, topped with fresh berries, honey, or pure maple syrup as desired.
