    • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl
    • Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add milk, yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla and combine
    • Combine the dry mixture into the wet mixture until the consistency is smooth
    • Preheat the waffle iron and test temperature (see appliance instructions)
    • To avoid sticking, prepare the waffle iron using oil, as needed before each waffle
    • Gently spoon the batter mixture at the center of the waffle iron and avoid overfilling the iron (batter rises and spreads during cooking)
    • Close the waffle iron lid and fully cook each waffle (see appliance instructions)
    • Serve hot with toppings, such as mixed fruit, butter, whipped cream, maple syrup, or powdered sugar
    • Enjoy!
