If you were to ask my family what their favorite breakfast was, they would easily say waffles. I don’t even have to think about it! We are constantly coming up with new waffle ideas – apple butter waffles, waffles with bacon in them, chocolate chip waffles…even brownie waffles! To say that our waffle maker was one of the best investments we have made in the kitchen is definitely an understatement!
The other day I was picking up some things at Meijer (I love that place!) and it totally hit me! Why don’t I put yogurt in our waffles? What a great way to get this carb-licious breakfast a bit of a protein boost!
I decided to use Dannon All Natural yogurt in my waffles. This is a plain yogurt made with all natural ingredients. It comes in a larger size than a traditional yogurt snack would come in, which is awesome because this is an awesome substitute for things like sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise and so much more! I try to always have a container of this in my refrigerator! Plus, it’s good in a bowl by itself. ;)
The awesome thing about this recipe is that you can totally use other kinds of yogurts as well! Dannon has a Whole Milk Yogurt that is GMO free, lower sugar and comes in a variety of flavors. And of course there are always the Dannon Classics. So get crazy! Add a little mixed berry, vanilla or peach to your waffles! Yum!
We like to top our waffles with syrup of course, but also a dollop of yogurt. You know, because it’s amazing! Did you know that just one cup of yogurt is packed with protein, calcium and vitamin D? It’s a great way to start your morning to help you fuel through your day and give you the energy you need.
And they are SO good!!
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup Dannon Yogurt I used Dannon All Natural Plain Yogurt - but feel free to use any Dannon yogurt flavors or varieties!)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder (Plus 2 Teaspoons)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- non-stick spray
- Plug your waffle maker in and let it warm up.
- In a bowl add eggs, milk and Dannon Yogurt together. (If you would like you can add a teaspoon of vanilla too!)
- Whisk well.
- Add the sugar, flour, baking powder and salt.
- Whisk together. I let my mix sit for a few minutes. You will notice it get a little bubbly. I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure if this is necessary! My grandmother always told me to let it sit, so I've always let it sit! Never question Grandma's cooking techniques! ;)
- Spray your waffle iron with nonstick spray and scoop out some waffle mix. Cook until each side is a golden brown - usually only about 3 minutes per side, depending on how well done you like it (my son likes his nice and crispy!) and how hot your waffle iron runs.
- Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
