Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Milk (any kind)
- 0.33 cups Melted unsalted butter or neutral oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter (or oil), honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir the mixture gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps in the batter are normal.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter, if needed.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, about 3–5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffle and transfer it to a cooling rack to prevent it from becoming soggy. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, maple syrup, or nut butter. Enjoy!
