Light, fluffy waffles packed with protein and a subtle tang from Greek yogurt. Perfect for quick breakfasts, freezer-friendly, and loved by picky eaters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (can substitute whole wheat or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/3 cup (35g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or sweetener (maple syrup or honey can be used instead)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil (unsalted butter preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron and let it heat fully, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If batter is too thick, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until thick but pourable.
  6. Lightly grease the waffle iron with oil or non-stick spray. Scoop about 1/2 cup (120ml) batter onto the center.
  7. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  8. Let waffles cool completely on a wire rack before freezing. Separate layers with parchment paper and store in airtight containers or bags for up to 2 months.
  9. To reheat, toast frozen waffles 1-2 times in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until crisp and warm.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense waffles. Use room temperature ingredients for better texture. Preheat waffle iron well for crispy edges. Let waffles cool completely before freezing and separate with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Toast frozen waffles instead of microwaving for best texture. You can fold in blueberries or chocolate chips before cooking for variation.
