Yogurt Waffles

There’s something truly special about the moments we share over breakfast, and my Yogurt Waffles have become a cherished centerpiece of those gatherings.

When the waffles started cooking in the waffle iron, the sizzling sound was music to my ears. Each one turned out perfectly golden brown and crisp on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. It was a delightful Saturday ritual, and I knew I had to share this recipe with you so you can create your own breakfast memories.

Recipe Ingredients for Yogurt Waffles

The ingredients for these Yogurt Waffles are simple yet effective, combining to create a delightful breakfast treat. Each component plays a crucial role in achieving the perfect texture and flavor. The key players include the yogurt, which adds creaminess and richness, and the almond milk, providing moisture. Together, they ensure that the waffles are fluffy while also being nutritious.

• 1 1/4 cups almond milk, or any milk you wish
  A great base, almond milk lends a lightness to the batter while keeping it dairy-free.
• 2/3 cup Stonyfield Plain 0% Fat Yogurt
  This yogurt adds creaminess and protein, making the waffles more filling.
• 2 large eggs
  Eggs provide structure and richness to the waffles, contributing to their fluffy texture.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  A hint of vanilla enhances the overall flavor of the waffles.
• 2 cups all-purpose unbleached, white whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour mix
  The flour is the backbone of the batter, giving the waffles their structure.
• 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons baking powder
  This is the leavening agent that ensures your waffles are light and fluffy.
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  Salt balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors.
• Cooking spray
  This is essential for preventing the waffles from sticking to the iron.

Instructions for Yogurt Waffles

Making these Yogurt Waffles is a straightforward process that yields delicious results. You’ll love how simple it is to whip up the batter, and once your waffle iron is ready, the magic happens! Let’s dive into the steps.

1. Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter. It makes the process smoother. In a blender, combine the ingredients, starting with the liquid. Pour in the almond milk, followed by the yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend these for about 30 to 60 seconds until well mixed and smooth.
2. Add the dry ingredients to the blender. Toss in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Blend again until everything is just combined. Don’t overmix! You want a smooth batter that’s ready to go.
3. Now, it’s time to heat up your waffle iron. Preheat it to medium heat, which is usually around number three on most models. Let it warm up while you finish preparing your batter.
4. Once the waffle iron is hot, spray it generously with cooking spray. This is crucial for ensuring your waffles come out perfectly without sticking.
5. Pour 1/2 cup of the batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron. Be sure not to overfill; the batter will spread out as it cooks.
6. Close the waffle iron and let it cook until the waffles are golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges. This should take about three to four minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!
7. When the waffles are ready, carefully open the waffle iron and use a fork or tongs to remove them. Place them on a wire rack to keep them crispy while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
8. If you have leftover batter, you can refrigerate it for later. Just make sure to cover it well. These waffles are great for meal prep!
9. Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings. Fresh fruits, maple syrup, or a dollop of more yogurt work wonderfully!

I’m the one who makes sure we’re having fun while we work. I love the communal aspect of cooking seven friends in a kitchen can be chaotic, but it’s the best kind of chaos! I cook everything alongside the girls, and I’m often the one setting the table and making sure the “vibe” is right for our photos. I believe that any recipe, no matter how simple or complex, is a celebration.
