# What You'll Need:

→ 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

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.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt creates the most incredible texture crisp outside pillow soft inside like a restaurant waffle but better
  • Each waffle packs 11 grams of protein so you feel satisfied without that heavy breakfast coma afterward
02 -
  • Overmixing creates tough rubbery waffles so stop as soon as the flour disappears even if tiny lumps remain
  • The batter thickens as it sits so if you are making multiple batches let the first waffle be your texture guide
03 -
  • Separate the eggs and beat the whites until stiff peaks form then fold them in at the end for extra loft
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before cooking to hydrate the flour completely for more tender waffles
