Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¾ cup milk
- 1/2 cup plain Stonyfield Greek Yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
Dry Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Add-ins and Toppings
- 1/2 cup diced apples (small dice)
- Butter (for serving)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, and honey until well combined and slightly bubbly to ensure a light texture in the waffles.
- Add dry ingredients and apples: To the wet mixture, add the baking powder, ground cinnamon, kosher salt, and all-purpose flour. Stir gently until fully incorporated and then fold in the diced apples carefully to distribute evenly without overmixing.
- Preheat and grease the waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the waffles: Pour the batter onto the heated waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 4 to 6 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
- Serve: Remove waffles carefully and serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, and extra chopped apples if desired for added freshness and sweetness.
Notes
- These waffles are a great source of protein thanks to the Greek yogurt and eggs.
- The honey provides natural sweetness, complementing the cinnamon and apples perfectly.
- Use fresh diced apples rather than cooked or canned for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust cooking time based on your waffle iron to avoid undercooked or burnt waffles.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
