Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup skim milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites (¼ cup or whites of 2 eggs)
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, skim milk, whole eggs, egg whites, honey, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir well until everything is thoroughly incorporated into a smooth mixture.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the whole wheat flour gradually, one cup at a time. Add the baking powder and salt as you mix to ensure even distribution without overmixing the batter.
- Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest briefly while heating your waffle iron. This rest helps the ingredients meld and can improve waffle texture.
- Prepare and Cook Waffles: Lightly grease your waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the iron, spreading evenly. Close the lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until no steam is visible and the waffle releases easily when you lift the iron. Use the indicator light if your waffle iron has one to determine doneness.
- Serve: Drizzle the waffles with maple syrup, additional honey, or your favorite toppings and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Resting the batter is crucial for fluffier waffles and better texture.
- Use a non-stick or well-greased waffle iron to prevent sticking and breaking.
- Adjust cooking time depending on your waffle iron’s heat and thickness preference.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar if desired.
- These waffles freeze well; reheat in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
