BFMH: Honey Yogurt Waffles

Huzzah! I love extra long weekends. Even more so, I love making breakfast over extra long weekends for my husband. Thus I looked up what I might be able to make on Saturday without having to go to the store. Hence this recipe:

Honey Yogurt Waffles

Yield: Serves 4

ingredients:

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/4 cups skim milk
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup honey
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Maple syrup or honey-for serving

Directions:

Melt the butter in the microwave and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, oats, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, yogurt, honey, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Gently fold in the melted butter.

Preheat and lightly grease the waffle iron.  When the waffle iron is hot, pour batter into the wells of the waffle iron.
Close the lid and bake until the waffle is golden and set. Carefully remove waffle from iron and serve warm with maple syrup or a drizzle of honey.

Note: To keep the waffles warm, preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place a tray of waffles in the oven to keep warm until serving.

These waffles were incredibly soft and extra delish. They were very light so I actually ate two which is very uncommon for me. While I enjoy waffles and pancakes, I normally can't do more than 1 of such a starchy dish. Husband proclaimed these to be "very good" and that he would be happy to eat them again. As it was just the 2 of use, I halved the recipe and we still ended up with 2 extra waffles. Granted though, we each only ate about 2 of them. I suppose other breakfast eaters would eat 3 waffles each.

Make these proteinfull waffles and enjoy life!
