Meal prepping breakfasts is my best mom-hack, given I work out in the mornings (check out this 3-day dumbbell workout plan to get started). And these Greek yogurt waffles have become a kid favorite thanks to their light texture and crispy outside.
No matter how I make them, with chocolate chips, fruit-based, smeared with dairy-free chocolate glaze, or a simple maple syrup drizzle, everyone devours them. Being able to make them in a blender is an even bigger lifesaver because it saves time mixing. Seriously, if you’re struggling with breakfast, prep them the night before to save your sanity in the morning. My Rise and Chill E-book goes over this exact process.

💭Why This Recipe Is Different
Made in a blender: Skip the mixing and ensure everything is combined. All you have to do is pop everything in a blender.
Pouring: Even though I love my paleo pumpkin waffles, I truly dislike portioning the batter. These easy blender waffles mean I can pour the batter into the waffle iron, and it’s less effort and mess.
Yogurt based: Being yogurt-based means that you get a natural protein source, keep the waffles low in calories, and achieve the best balance of golden crispy.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Greek yogurt: The blender waffles recipe works best with a Greek yogurt, as it helps thicken everything up. I personally use a dairy-free Greek yogurt (this is what I use for Greek yogurt protein pancakes, too), but use whatever suits your dietary preference.
- Gluten-free flour: Opt for baking flour so that the waffles rise up. All-purpose flour tends to work pretty well, too, but will result in a bit thinner waffles.
- Mix-ins: My one kid is chocolate obsessed, so we add chocolate chips more often than not to ours. However, fruit, nuts, or anything else you can think of works as well.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Flavor Variations
Double chocolate: Add 1 tablespoon of raw cacao powder to the dairy-free waffle batter along with chocolate chips to mix in for a rich chocolate taste.
Fruity: Mixing in fresh or frozen fruit, or blending something like a raspberry compote recipe into the batter gives a pop of freshness.
Extra protein: Since dairy-free yogurts (even Greek) tend to slack on protein a bit, I like to add collagen powder when making these for myself (learn more about what collagen powder is).
How To Make Blender Waffles
Step 1: Place all the ingredients (except chocolate chips) into a blender or food processor.
Step 2: Blend until combined.
Step 3: Pour into a pre-greased and heated waffle iron. Add the mix-ins.
Step 4: Cook for 8-12 minutes, depending on preference.
Expert Tips To Make It
Add the eggs and Greek yogurt to the food processor first to make blending smoother.
Cook the yogurt waffles for 2-3 minutes longer, checking them frequently if you like them crispier.
If you like a crispier texture, you can let them cool briefly on a wire rack before serving them as opposed to stacking them. Stacking them creates steam which makes them lose their crispiness.
Storing: Once cooked and cooled, store leftover waffles in the fridge between layers of parchment paper in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Or, you can freeze them between parchment paper in a plastic bag for up to 3 months. Let them thaw overnight in the fridge before you need them.
Reheating: The waffles can be reheated in the toaster or the oven on a lower heat until warmed through.
How To Serve Them
There are so many ways to enjoy blender waffles, you can really make them into anything you wish. Below are a few ways we rock them:
- As a school morning breakfast, topped with maple syrup and with a side of berries.
- As a brunch spread with coconut milk caramel sauce for drizzling and paired with my favorite dairy-free egg casserole.
Blender Waffles FAQs
Regular yogurt can be used to make blender waffles but the result will be a thinner waffle. If doing this, you may want to scale back the yogurt amount so that the batter is slightly thicker.
Waffles won’t crisp up if the waffle iron isn’t hot enough or it wasn’t preheated before pouring the batter.
