Homemade Cinnamon Waffles
These waffles are crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle with a hint of cinnamon for that pop of flavor and aromatics. Who doesn't love a tasty waffle in the morning am I right? Easily mix up your breakfast by adding a variety of different toppings such as whipped cream, maple syrup, fresh fruit, butter, jam or create a delicious dessert version with a big scoop of ice cream on top.
Get creative and make a savory version by adding your favorite herbs such as basil or oregano, simply swap out the cinnamon and substitute as desired. I have made a scrumptious crispy chicken sandwich using waffles as the bread, and it was amazing! let me know what you think. Would love to hear from you.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
- 3 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon (or herb of choice)
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Cups Milk
Directions:
Preheat your waffle iron while you prepare the batter.
In a large bowl, whisk all your dry ingredients together.
Separate your eggs and set the yolks aside. In a separate bowl, whip your egg whites until stiff peaks form, then set aside. (Save some time and use an electric mixer here)
In another bowl, whisk together your remaining wet ingredients including the egg yolks.
Mix your wet and dry ingredients together until incorporated, then fold in your egg whites.
Spray your waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with butter, then ladle the batter into your prepared waffle iron. Cook until crispy and golden brown.
TIP- When your waffle is cooked, using a fork flip it over and cook for additional minute or two to make it extra crispy. For whatever reason, I have found one side tends to get crispier then the other on all the waffle irons I have tried. But that is an easy fix.
NOTE- if making a savory version reduce sugar by 1 Tablespoon.
