Greek Yogurt Waffles (Printable Version)
Light, fluffy waffles with protein-rich Greek yogurt for a satisfying breakfast.
# 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 - Heat your waffle iron according to manufacturer guidelines until ready for batter.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly blended and smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
04 - Pour dry mixture into wet ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Stop mixing when small lumps remain—overworking creates tough waffles.
05 - Lightly coat the preheated waffle iron with melted butter or cooking spray.
06 - Pour approximately 1/3 cup batter per waffle and close the lid. Cook until golden brown with crisp edges, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
07 - Plate immediately while hot. Top with fresh berries, honey, or maple syrup as desired.

03 -
- Separate your eggs and whip the whites separately, then fold them in at the end for restaurant-style height
- Let your waffle iron do its work without lifting the lid too early, patience gives you that crispy exterior
