Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1.75 cups Greek yogurt (preferably Fage 2% for thick consistency)
- 2 eggs (room temperature, about 70°F for smoother batter)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (King Arthur recommended for consistent results)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1.25 tbsp baking powder (sifted to remove lumps)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Gather ingredients: Measure out all the wet and dry ingredients, ensuring eggs are at room temperature to help create a smooth batter.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon to remove lumps and evenly distribute the leavening agents.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well blended and smooth.
- Make the batter: Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, gently folding them together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Preheat waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron and lightly grease if necessary according to manufacturer instructions.
- Cook waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp outside, usually about 4-6 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
- Serve warm: Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or nuts.
Notes
- Using room temperature eggs helps create a smoother batter and fluffier waffles.
- Sifting the baking powder and flour ensures a better rise and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter; some lumps are okay to keep waffles light.
- For extra crispness, preheat the waffle iron thoroughly before cooking.
- These waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for quick breakfasts.
