What? You mean I actually make things that aren’t smoothies too? Yes. While I’ve been on a smoothie rampage (Red Velvet, Three Ingredient Pineapple Green Smoothie, Banana Orange Green Smoothie, Strawberry Lemonade Green Smoothie, Sweet Turmeric Twister, & Pineapple Banana Breakfast Smoothie) I have also had other things TOO you know. However there’s been a common theme. Have you noticed? My Blendtec. “I can’t liiiiiivvve.. if living is without you. I can’t liiiiiii-iive. I can’t live anymore.’ [Mariah Carey]. But no seriously. I cannot live without my beloved blender. You’ve seen it make a cameo in many, many posts (especially since I got the Seafoam.. *swoon*). I {heart} Blendtec.

Great waffles…
I added vanilla and blueberries. I also substituted macadamia milk rather than regular milk and threw in some rolled oats…yummy!
Kayla
These are fantastic! The only thing I did differently was whip the egg whites separately and fold it in and add a bit of cinnamon. Delicious with berries!
Yvonne
Hi Kayla, I’m so happy to hear that you loved these waffles! Adding a bit of cinnamon and serving with berries is a great idea!
Jill
Love that this is a blender recipe. I had my 2 yr old help. He loved it! They tasted really good, even without butter or oil. I have had many healthier pancake/waffle fails but, this was not one! Next time I will try Greek yogurt. I only had regular to use today. Thanks again!!
Yvonne
Hi Jill, I’m so happy to hear that you and your son loved it, and that’s so cute that he helped! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Pallab
I tried with plain yogurt and water instead of milk. The results were still wonderful!
Yvonne
So happy to hear that you enjoyed the waffles Pallab! The yogurt & water that you used in the recipe sounds like a great substitute, and it’s always wonderful when you can use ingredients that you already have on hand, rather than taking a trip to the store!
Fran
Delicious. Love the recipe, just a tastes a tad bit too eggy!
Yvonne
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe Fran! You might try using 2 egg whites + 1 whole egg, instead of 2 whole eggs if you want to reduce the egg taste.
Helen
Wow just made these and they was the best waffles I’ve ever had !!
Yvonne
Hi Helen! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed these waffles! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment letting me know!
Lizzy
Wow! These were SO delicious! The recipe is very simple to make and doing it in the blender made pouring the batter into the waffle maker a breeze. My hunt for the perfect waffle recipe is over! I love that they’re healthy and filling, but didn’t give me that crash I get from the usual recipes using white flour and sugar. I’m going to freeze the extra ones and put them in the toaster for an easy weekday breakfast. P.S. Try smearing peanut butter and maple syrup on them. Yum!
Yvonne
Hi Lizzy! Awesome, I’m so thrilled to hear that you love these waffles! I love your idea of smearing peanut butter & maple syrup on them! That sounds down right sweet, savory and delicious and I can’t wait to try it!
Rebecca
These were so good! Do you know if you can freeze them?
Yvonne
Hi Rebecca, I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe! You sure can freeze these waffles! Using an airtight plastic freezer bag works best, and I find that they stay good in the freezer for a couple of months.
Valerie
I absolutely love that your recipe doesn’t call for oil or sugar. *SWOON* Making these right now so I can have something fast and healthy to grab on my way out of the house through out the week ^_^.
Yvonne
Valerie, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! I too love the wholesome simplicity of these waffles! :)
Lovely! Santa brought me a waffle maker for Christmas so I’m constantly on the hunt for healthy waffle recipes. Love the use of greek yog!
Yvonne
Yes!!!! I have a few great waffle recipes you’ll have to give a try!
I am actually making whole wheat waffles tomorrow morning! But the addition of greek yogurt is genius!
Yvonne
If you made them, I hope you enjoyed them :) Waffles are my favorite!
Kristin
These waffles look amazing!! Thank you for hosting this giveaway!!
Yvonne
Thank you so much, glad you stopped by!
And now I’m craving waffles! I love using Greek yogurt, it really adds a tangy richness to food!
Yvonne
Right? I totally agree!
Nutmeg Nanny
I love using yogurt in my waffles. This version looks mighty tasty!
Yvonne
I hadn’t done it before now, and wondering why!
shockinglydelicious
I am totally singing that song in my head now!
Yvonne
hee hee.. it’s inevitable!
I really need to invest in a waffle maker. These look so easy and I love the use of Greek yogurt here!
Yvonne
YES!!! You really do – I don’t know what I’d do without mine :)
Oh I do love waffles! How fun to make them in a blender!
Yvonne
The blender rocks, I love anything that will simplify my life!
I’ve never had waffles made in a blender before but these look so fluffy and delicious!
Yvonne
Works perfectly and so quick!
Love that this waffle recipe has Greek yogurt in! :) And thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of this!
Yvonne
I love the little bit of extra nutrition it adds. So happy you were involved in our great giveaway!
I love whole wheat waffles! I MUST try this recipe!!! Thanks so much for having me be part of this fabulous giveaway, Yvonne! :)
Yvonne
Yes, you MUST! Thanks for joining in on the fun!
I like that you added maple syrup to the batter. I need to try that next time we make waffles. Also, greek yogurt is GENIUS. Do you think I could use a flavored version instead of plain?
Yvonne
Just a little touch of extra sweetness that isn’t refined sugar. Win/win! I wonder if a flavored yogurt would alter the flavor very much? Definitely worth a shot!
I love my blendtec so much too! Definitely top 5 appliances – okay top 3 ;) and I need these waffles in my life too. I love that they are lighter with greek yogurt and whole wheat flour. Yum!
Yvonne
Isn’t it just the best?! I think.. what WOULD I do without it?!
I love all the ways you use your blender! I seriously need to get one and make these delicious waffles as soon as I do! They look amazing!
Yvonne
I use my blender daily – couldn’t life without it! I hope you’ll get one soon, they are definitely worth it.
