Ingredients List

Creating these rich and fluffy waffles requires a perfect blend of dry and wet ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

Dry Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch

Wet Ingredients

2 whole eggs
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups milk

Batter Preparation

Creating the perfect waffle batter is all about balance — combining ingredients just enough to bring them together without overmixing. Follow these steps for best results.

Mixing the Ingredients

Start by preparing your dry and wet components in separate bowls:

Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and cornstarch until evenly combined.
Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, crack in the eggs and add Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.

Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the well.
Gently whisk the batter, folding from the center outwards until just combined. Do not overmix — a few lumps are perfectly fine and help maintain a tender texture.
Let the batter rest for a few minutes while you preheat your waffle maker.

Cooking the Waffles

With your batter ready and waffle maker hot, it’s time to cook your golden, crispy Greek Yogurt Waffles to perfection.

Preheating and Cooking

Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) — this will keep your waffles warm and crisp between batches.
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A hot waffle iron ensures even cooking and a crunchy exterior.
Grease the waffle maker lightly with oil or non-stick spray if required.
Add the batter: Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron (usually about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on your machine).
Close the lid and cook the waffles for 3–5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.

Keeping Waffles Warm and Crisp

As each batch finishes:

Transfer cooked waffles directly to the oven rack (not a plate or tray) to keep them crisp and warm.
Avoid stacking them, as the steam can make them soggy.

Serving and Decoration

The beauty of Greek Yogurt Waffles lies in their versatility. Once cooked to golden perfection, it’s time to plate them up with flair.

Suggested Toppings and Pairings

Enhance the flavor and presentation of your waffles with these popular topping ideas:

Fresh Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or sliced bananas add a burst of freshness.
Whipped Cream: A dollop of homemade or store-bought whipped cream brings rich, airy sweetness.
Maple Syrup or Honey: A classic drizzle of syrup adds moisture and deep, caramel-like flavor.
Nut Butters: Almond or peanut butter adds protein and a satisfying, nutty contrast.
Chocolate Chips or Shavings: Sprinkle on top for a dessert-like finish.

Whether you’re serving a weekend brunch or a cozy weekday breakfast, presentation makes the experience even more enjoyable.
