We tried out a new waffle recipe this morning, and I am happy to say it is the best waffle recipe I’ve ever made!
My husband says these are the best waffles he’s ever tasted.
What makes this the best waffle recipe?
It’s an easy recipe. Not tons of ingredients. Just basics. Things you probably already have on hand.
These waffles are delicious with toppings, but are just as good without any toppings at all! They are great by themselves.
They aren’t 100% whole wheat, but almost half the flour is whole wheat flour. On the healthy side. 🙂
They call for real butter, not oil. Of course I think they’d also taste great and still be healthy if you use coconut oil in place of the butter.
Best Waffle Recipe
Ingredients (makes about 6-7 waffles):
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 C. buttermilk (for a substitute, just put two Tbsp. lemon juice or apple cider vinegar in a 1 Cup measuring cup. Fill the rest with milk. And add 3/4 C. more milk. Stir and let sit while you prepare the rest of the recipe)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 C. whole wheat flour
- 3/4 C. all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt (if you used salted butter) or 1/2 tsp. salt (if you used unsalted butter)
Instructions:
- Heat up your waffle iron
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla with an electric hand mixer or wire whisk.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir just until moistened.
- Spray the waffle iron lightly with some cooking spray and spoon about 1/3 C. batter onto the waffle iron for each waffle. Some of the waffles I made with more like 1/2 C. of batter.
