Waffles

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

One of my favorite memories growing up is staying at my Mimi and Bob’s house and her making us Belgian waffles in the morning. Therefore, one of the first things I registered for when we got married was… a Belgian waffle maker! Luckily, we got one because it has been one of our most used items. It makes some Saturday or Sunday mornings so special to make these! This recipe seems like more work than going out to Waffle House, but it’s truly simple and quick. I love turning on some Jack Johnson, sipping coffee, and taking it slow. …Unless I’m really hungry, then I whip them up extra fast. Enjoy!

This the waffle maker I have and I LOVE it:

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Course Breakfast
Servings 6

Equipment

  • Waffle Maker – I prefer Belgian
  • (2) Mixing Bowls – (1) large, (1) medium
  • Mixing spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 C All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (Kosher or Sea Salt)
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 Stick Butter (8 Tbsp.), Melted Sub: 8 Tbsp. Canola or Coconut Oil (Melted)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 C Whole Milk
  • 1/4 C Sour Cream
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Optional:

  • 1-2 Tbsp Flax Seeds Adds a boost of fiber and heart-healthy fat!

Instructions
 

  • Heat up waffle maker to desired setting for doneness – I turn the dial to 6 (Medium/High Heat)
  • In large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  • Melt the butter. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the two eggs well until bubbles appear. Add in the melted butter and remaining wet ingredients. Stir.
  • Mix the wet into dry and stir until well-incorporated.
  • Pour batter into waffle maker and cook until waffles are cooked through and golden brown. (Waffle maker may have a ‘Done’ button so you don’t have to check!) Cool on a wire cooling rack for some extra crunch. Serve with whatever your heart desires – See notes. ENJOY!
  • To store in refrigerator: In air-tight container or Ziploc bag for up to three days
    To store in freezer: In an air-tight container or Ziploc freezer bag for up to one month
    Reheat: In waffle maker until warmed through, or in microwave for a quick option (won’t be as crispy, will be soft).

Notes

Serving Options:
1. Sliced bananas, dark chocolate (Can toss dark chocolate chips into the batter before cooking), butter, and maple syrup 
2. Fresh blueberries (Can toss in the batter before cooking), fresh lemon zest, butter, and maple syrup
3. Sliced strawberries, fresh blueberries, and homemade whipped cream (See linked at bottom of post) 
4. Diabetic-Friendly Option: To keep carbohydrates low-moderate and make sure there is enough protein to complete the meal – Top waffle with almond butter and fresh berries instead of maple syrup, and serve with (2) scrambled eggs on the side 
5. Savory & Sweet: A piece of fried chicken & syrup.. Mhmm!
You do you!

#Soulwork in the Kitchen

Every day I try to do better. See better. Say better. Talk better. Be better. I do my best. And I blow it 10 times out of 12. I ask forgiveness for anyone whose feelings I may have hurt. I ask forgiveness of God. I forgive myself. And then I start again tomorrow.
