Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoon salted butter, melted -OR- neutral oil (like canola or vegetable)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 + ½ Cup 0% Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ Cup ground flaxseed
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 Cup whole wheat flour
- ½ to 1 Cup milk of choice -OR- water (we use skim or 2% dairy milk)
Instructions
- Heat waffle iron per manufacturer directions.
- In a large bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), beat eggs, butter (OR oil) & sugar together until well combined.
- Add yogurt and vanilla to the wet mixture and mix until combined.
- Slowly stir in the dry ingredients (the ground flax, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and whole wheat flour) and mix until combined. Add water (OR milk) to thin the batter to your liking (recommend to do this in ¼ Cup increments).
- Scoop batter into your waffle iron, close the lid, and bake per manufacturer directions until golden brown.
- Keep finished waffles warm while you continue to cook the remaining batter by placing the waffles on a wire rack on a baking sheet in the oven at 200°F
- Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
*How to keep finished waffles warm while cooking the rest of the batter:
Heat your oven to 170-200°F and place finished waffles in a single layer onto a cooling rack sitting within a cookie sheet to keep warm. No need to cover your waffles while they are in the oven.
*How to Store and Reheat Cooked Waffles:
- Storing:
- In the refrigerator: You can store cooked waffles in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
- In the freezer: You can store cooked waffles in the freezer for 2-3 months. Prior to freezing, make sure to cool your waffles completely and then place cooled waffles into a ziplock bag or freezer safe container. Placing a piece of parchment paper between the waffles will help them from sticking together.
- Reheating: Reheat refrigerated or frozen waffles in a toaster, toaster oven, or microwave.
