Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup protein-packed flour blend (such as almond flour or oat flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
- Prepare the Batter: Begin by whisking together the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the protein flour blend, baking powder, and your chosen sweetener, ensuring an even distribution.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to its instructions, then lightly grease it to prevent sticking and ensure crispy edges.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter onto the waffle iron, using enough to cover the surface without overflowing. Cook until golden brown and crisp, usually about 3–5 minutes depending on your iron.
- Serve Warm: Carefully remove waffles and serve immediately or keep warm in the oven while making additional batches.
Notes
- Don’t Overmix: Mixing the batter too much can make waffles dense instead of light and fluffy.
- Preheat Properly: Ensure your waffle iron is fully heated before cooking for the perfect crispy exterior.
- Customize Sweetness: Adjust the type and amount of sweetener to match your preference and dietary needs.
- Add Texture: Toss in nuts or seeds for an extra crunch that complements the waffle’s softness.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh eggs and yogurt enhance flavor and improve overall texture.
