Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron, depending on its size. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the cooked waffle and place on a wire rack to prevent sogginess while you cook the remaining batter.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream.
