Why My Recipe

• Naturally sweetened with honey.
• Greek yogurt makes these waffles super moist and fluffy.
• Whip this batter up quick with a prep time of 5 minutes!

This recipe is the product of my kitchen experimentation. Back in 2013, I decided to do something a little different by making waffles. And thus, my Greek yogurt waffles were born. It makes me feel better when I lather my waffle with syrup to know that there is a redeeming quality in there somewhere.

Ingredient Notes

• Eggs: Two eggs hold everything together. Room temp is ideal, but no stress if they’re cold.
• Greek Yogurt: We use and recommend full-fat Greek yogurt. However, you can use any plain yogurt.
• Honey: A great natural sweetener. You can also substitute with agave or maple syrup.
• All-Purpose Flour: You can make these with whole wheat flour, though they won’t be as fluffy.

Syrup Options

Cinnamon Buttermilk Syrup: This syrup is like a liquid cinnamon roll, and is the syrup recipe my family asks for all the time!

Caramel Syrup: This syrup is so good served warm with a little sea salt sprinkled on top.

Simple Strawberry Syrup: Made with fresh strawberries, this syrup brightens up your waffles and adds a little tang from the lemon juice.

Homemade Blueberry Syrup: This sweet and fruity syrup has a little vanilla extract for the perfect balance of flavors.

Waffle Maker Tips

If you want golden, crispy waffles every time, it all starts with treating your waffle maker right.

First things first—preheat it. A hot waffle iron is what gives you that crispy outside. You’ll also want to lightly grease it with cooking spray or a brush of oil, especially if your nonstick is starting to act… less than nonstick.

Resist the urge to overfill. It might seem like more batter just makes for a bigger waffle, but really it just makes for a mess. Start with 1/2 cup for Belgian makers and about 1/3 cup for American-style, then adjust from there.

Make-Ahead Option

Wonder how you can enjoy this goodness every morning without any hassle? This batter can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week, making breakfast a snap! Just stir a bit before using.
