Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1.5 cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, combine the all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt, mixing well to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt.
- Fold Dry into Wet: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a flat spatula, taking care not to overmix to keep the batter light and airy.
- Prepare Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron. Once heated, spray the surface with cooking oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook for about 2 minutes, until the waffle is golden brown on the outside and cooked through in the center.
- Repeat and Oil: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same way, spraying the waffle iron with oil between each waffle to ensure easy removal and prevent sticking.
- Storage and Reheating: Store cooked waffles in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, toast them in a toaster or toaster oven until warmed through; they can be toasted directly from frozen.
