- 🌾 Gluten-Free Pancake Mix: Our favorite mix that delivers that classic waffle texture without the gluten.
- 🍫 Mini Chocolate Chips: Add a touch of sweetness and melt perfectly in each bite.
Bonus: the batter doubles as a pancake mix—so you can mix it up & fulfill your toddler's picky decisions. ✨
Ingredients
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1¼ cups GF pancake mix
- 1 large egg
- Mini chocolate chips, to taste (start with ¼ cup)
Directions
- Preheat waffle iron (or pancake griddle) to medium-high.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg until foamy.
- Add yogurt, milk, and pancake mix; stir just until combined—small lumps keep waffles fluffy.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Pour about ½ cup batter into waffle iron (adjust for your iron size) and cook until steam subsides and waffle is golden, ~5 minutes.
- Repeat with remaining batter, keeping cooked waffles warm on a rack in a 200°F (95°C) oven if needed.
No waffle iron? Batter works perfectly for pancakes—cook 2 minutes per side on a buttered skillet.
Storage: Freeze cooled waffles in a single layer, then store in a zip bag up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster for a crispy finish.
Topping Ideas:
- Drizzle with pure maple syrup or a spoonful of nut butter.
- Top with sliced bananas, strawberries, or blueberries for a fresh touch.
- Add a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of extra chocolate chips.
