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 pieces Large eggs
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or melted butter (for waffle iron)
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 cinnamon until well combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs until lightly frothy. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with cooking spray or melted butter.
Spoon the batter onto the center of the waffle iron, using the manufacturer's recommended amount (usually about 1/3 to 1/2 cup per waffle, depending on the size of your waffle iron). Spread the batter slightly if needed.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 4–6 minutes per batch. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream.
