Introduction

These high protein waffles are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. Packed with Greek yogurt and whole wheat flour, they offer a satisfying texture and great flavor. Perfect for a weekend brunch or a healthy breakfast treat.

A single round golden-brown waffle sits in the center of a white plate, its grid pattern visible beneath a drizzle of shiny syrup filling some of the squares. On top, there is a small pile of mixed fresh berries: two halved strawberries with their green tops, several whole raspberries, and blueberries scattered over the waffle and plate. The plate rests on a white marbled surface with drops of syrup and loose blueberries around, adding a fresh and sweet feel. In the top left, part of a white cup fills the frame, and in the bottom left, a white bowl with more berries and a silver spoon on a white cloth are visible. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup skim milk
2 large eggs
2 large egg whites (about ¼ cup)
¼ cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, egg whites, honey, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
Step 2: Gently fold in the whole wheat flour one cup at a time, along with the baking powder and salt, until just combined.
Step 3: Allow the batter to rest briefly while you heat up your waffle iron.
Step 4: Grease your waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour the batter onto the iron and cook until no steam rises and the waffle lifts easily, about 2-3 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
Step 5: Serve warm with maple syrup, honey, or your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Substitute maple syrup or agave nectar for honey if preferred.
For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or seeds to the batter.
Use a non-stick waffle iron or ensure it’s well-greased to prevent sticking.
Try adding cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice flavor.

Storage

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture. For longer storage, freeze waffles in a single layer and reheat directly from frozen.

How to Serve

A single golden-brown waffle is centered on a round white plate, showing its thick, crispy texture with deep square pockets. On top of the waffle, there is a mix of fresh berries: two sliced strawberries with vibrant red color and green leafy tops, several red raspberries with a bumpy surface, and many plump, dark blue blueberries scattered evenly. Light amber syrup is drizzled over the waffle and berries, filling some pockets and slightly pooling around the edges. The plate rests on a white marbled surface with scattered blueberries and raspberry around, a white cup filled with liquid partly visible on the left, and part of another white plate with pancakes in the upper right corner. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend designed for baking. This may slightly change the texture but will still yield tasty waffles.

How do I know when the waffles are done?

The waffles are done when you no longer see steam coming from the waffle iron and the waffle lifts easily without sticking. Most modern waffle irons also have indicator lights to help determine doneness.
