These Greek Yogurt Waffles are the BEST because they are:
- Quick! Ready to eat in just 30 minutes.
- Easy! Combine your wet and dry ingredients separately then add them together. Pour onto a waffle maker and cook!
- Soft on the inside! So fluffy – the perfect texture!
- Crispy on the outside! I added cornstarch to the batter thanks to this recommendation by Pam Anderson. It really makes a difference. I put my waffles in the oven at 200ºF to keep them crisp while I make the rest of the batch.
- Healthy! The Greek yogurt adds extra protein. You could make them even healthier by adding flaxseed!
- Freezable! Yes, you can make a double batch of these and freeze them later for no-fuss mornings throughout the week.
- Delicious! The Greek yogurt in these waffles gives them an added tang and richness. SO good!
How to make this Healthy Greek Yogurt Waffle recipe:
It’s SUPER easy – just 4 steps!
- Whisk the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients separately.
- Combine the two and fold gently.
- Pour the batter into a hot waffle maker and cook until golden brown.
- Once the waffles are cooked, place them in a 200ºF oven while you finish making the batch. This keeps the waffles warm and crispy.
How do I freeze waffles?
- Let the waffles cool completely after cooking.
- Wrap them individually in aluminum foil to help prevent freezer burn.
- Place them in a large ziplock bag in the freezer. These frozen waffles will last for up to 3 months.
To reheat them, simply place them directly in a toaster, toaster oven, or an oven at 200ºF for 10 minutes, or until they are heated thoroughly.
Tips for making the BEST waffles every time:
- Don’t overwork the batter. Whisk until the dry and wet ingredients are just combined! The more you overwork the batter the tougher the waffles will turn out.
- While you are making the waffles keep the ones that are already done in a 200ºF oven to stay nice and crispy and warm.
- Don’t stack waffles on top of one another when they are warm. They will lose their crispiness and get soggy.

These waffles look so delicious, Kelley! And healthy too! I love when a waffle is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside – that’s the best way to eat a waffle. I learned to use egg whites from the Pioneer Woman for making a crisp waffle, and I’ve also tried seltzer from an America’s Test Kitchen recipe. Both produce great results too if you’re ever in the mood to try something different with your new waffle maker. I can’t wait to try this recipe! 🙂

Those waffles are the perfect colour! We always put Greek yoghurt in our waffles. Not only does it make them really fluffy, but it adds some extra protein too 🙂
