Description
Deliciously fluffy waffles made with Greek yogurt for extra protein and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat is best)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk (any – slightly warmed if using butter)
- 3½ tablespoons olive oil (or 4 tablespoons melted butter)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (grated – optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, add 1 cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup milk, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons sugar, 3½ tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Whisk until smooth and creamy, with no lumps of yogurt.
- Sift in the Dry: Place a sieve over the bowl and add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Stop as soon as you don’t see dry flour. A few small lumps are okay.
- Cook until Golden: Heat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil. Pour batter into the center (about ½ cup, depending on your machine). Close the lid without locking it. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- Keep them Crisp: Place cooked waffles on a wire rack while you finish the rest. Do not stack them, or they will turn soft. If needed, reheat in a toaster or air fryer to make them crisp again.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can replace olive oil with melted butter.
- These waffles can be stored in the freezer and reheated as needed.
