Greek Yogurt Waffles

Food! Yay! I still have a couple more travel posts to get up, but I wanted to post this before I forgot what I changed. It's been a fairly lazy Saturday. I almost slept-in until 9, which is pretty late for me...which is sad. I was starving when I woke up. Like I wake up and I am so hungry that I'm nauseated. Everyday. Does anyone else have this problem? I have to have food (and coffee) pronto. Anyways, my late morning is still early for everyone else...so I grabbed a Larabar and coffee, and then got my P90X-2 on for the day. At which point it was about 1130, and the others were beginning to surface. So I made waffles. I'm all about eating breakfast as many times as possible. 

I feel like it's been a really long time since I've had waffles. I guess we just generally do pancakes. But waffles are great because they have like built-in syrup holders. You can also get in more peanut butter this way. Totally brilliant. I slightly modified this recipe from Lauren Conrad's website. These waffles are definitely better for you than the normal ones. Greek yogurt, honey, whole wheat flour, coconut oil... and still super tasty! Even the brother ate them up.



Greek Yogurt Waffles

Ingredients:
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 TBSP-ish honey
1/2 tsp vanilla 

Directions:
  • Plug in your waffle iron so it can heat up.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients together and mix.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients and mix them together.
  • Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture and whisk the two together.
  • Spray your waffle iron with some non-stick cooking spray. (This may need to be repeated between waffles.)
  • Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter onto the waffle iron. Cook until it's as done as you like it. Repeat until all the batter has been used. About 10 times. 

Enjoy!

Note: You may be able to see this in the picture, but they were very soft. I couldn't tell you if that's because of the "healthy" stuff or because I tend to (intentionally) undercook things like waffles. I mean, they're more done than any of my pancakes ever get (I like those to still run batter when you cut in). So mine are floppy, but tasty. I guess you could try to cook them more thoroughly.
