Ingredients
Scale
-
- 1 cup whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour is high in fiber and nutrients compared to refined flour.
-
- 2 tbsp sugar or honey: Adds a touch of sweetness to balance the nutty flavor of the wheat.
-
- 2 tsp baking powder: Aids in making the waffles fluffy and light.
-
- 1/2 tsp salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the waffles.
-
- 1 cup milk or plant-based milk: Provides moisture and richness; choose plant-based for a vegan option.
-
- 1 large egg: Adds structure and helps bind the ingredients together.
-
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or melted coconut oil: Ensures the waffles are moist and tender.
-
- 1 tsp vanilla extract: Adds a delicious aroma and depth of flavor.
Instructions
-
- Preheat your waffle iron: Ensure the iron is hot before pouring the batter to achieve evenly cooked waffles with a crispy exterior.
-
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, sugar or honey, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk or plant-based milk, egg, vegetable oil or melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the mixture is just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense waffles.
-
- Cook the waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using enough to cover the surface without overflowing. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, usually until the waffles are golden brown.
-
- Serve immediately: Once cooked, remove the waffles and serve them warm. They are best enjoyed right after cooking to maintain their crispy texture.
