    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!

    1. Whisk the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients separately.
    2. Combine the two and fold gently.
    3. Pour the batter into a hot waffle maker and cook until golden brown.
    4. Once the waffles are cooked, place them in a 200ºF oven while you finish making the batch. This keeps the waffles warm and crispy.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I freeze waffles?

    1. Let the waffles cool completely after cooking.
    2. Wrap them individually in aluminum foil to help prevent freezer burn.
    3. 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

    • 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.

    My favorite toppings for Greek yogurt waffles or pancakes:

    • Fruit: Apples, peaches, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries!
    • Nuts: Almonds, walnuts or pecans!
    • Sauces: Maple syrup, honey, chocolate sauce or mixed berry compote.
