Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Fruit Loops cereal
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cups maple syrup or icing drizzle (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cups additional Fruit Loops cereal (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until combined. Avoid overmixing; some lumps are okay.
Fold in 1 cup of the Fruit Loops cereal gently, ensuring the cereal is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
Spoon the batter into the preheated waffle iron, making sure not to overfill, as the batter will spread. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s settings until the waffles are golden and cooked through (typically 3-5 minutes).
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron using a fork or tongs and set aside on a wire rack to keep crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To serve, top each waffle with whipped cream, drizzle with maple syrup or icing if desired, and sprinkle additional Fruit Loops cereal on top for extra crunch and color.
Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, fruity goodness!
