These protein-packed fluffy Greek yogurt waffles are light, tender, and hearty enough to fuel your morning, topped with a fresh and tangy blueberry compote for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • For the Blueberry Compote:
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes until hot.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. Mix in protein powder if using.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; batter should be thick but pourable with some small lumps.
  5. Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or melted butter. Pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup batter onto the iron, avoiding overflow.
  6. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes until waffles are golden brown and crisp, releasing easily from the iron.
  7. Remove waffles carefully and place on a wire rack to keep crisp while cooking remaining batter.
  8. To make the blueberry compote, combine blueberries, water, lemon juice, and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until berries burst and sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla or cinnamon if desired.
  9. Serve waffles warm topped generously with blueberry compote, extra Greek yogurt, or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk or water to loosen. Avoid overmixing to keep waffles tender. Preheat waffle iron fully for crispy edges. Keep cooked waffles on a wire rack to prevent sogginess. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free blend and adjust liquids. For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt and coconut oil.
