Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.75 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray or oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and honey (if using). Mix until the wet ingredients are fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray or a little oil.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron, spreading it slightly if needed. Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually 4-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and transfer it to a wire rack or plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron between batches as needed.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, honey, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
