Greek Yogurt Waffles (Print Version)
Tangy, protein-rich waffles with Greek yogurt. Ready in 25 minutes for a satisfying breakfast.
# What You Need:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 1 cup Greek yogurt
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup milk
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
# Directions:
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, adjusting according to your iron's size. Cook until golden brown and crisp, 3-5 minutes per batch.
07 - Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, honey, or maple syrup.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The yogurt makes them incredibly tender inside while keeping that crispy exterior we all want.
- Eleven grams of protein per waffle means no one is asking for snacks an hour later.
02 -
- Overmixing creates tough waffles, so stop as soon as the flour disappears.
- The batter will be thicker than you expect, which is exactly right.
03 -
- Use a ice cream scoop with a release mechanism for mess-free pouring every time.
- Let the waffles cool on a wire rack instead of a plate so the bottoms stay crisp.
