Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¾ cups whole milk
- ½ cup olive oil, or canola oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron. In a large bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes on medium high.
- Using a hand whisk, gently whisk in all ingredients except for the flours until incorporated.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in both flours just until no flour streaks remain. Do not over-mix.
- Lightly grease hot waffle iron with cooking spray and pour appropriate amount of batter onto hot waffle iron, according to manufacturer's instruction.*
- Allow waffle to cook until golden and crispy on the edges.
- Repeat with remaining batter, lightly greasing the iron each time. Serve warm with stabilized whipped cream, berries, and your choice of syrup.
Equipment
Notes
- The batter can be made the night before, covered, and chilled. Gently stir before using.
- For most waffle irons: fill the iron to two-thirds full, close it to cook, and open when steam stops being emitted.
- Beating the eggs until light and fluffy is the secret to these waffles' airy texture.
- Gently folding in the flours is crucial for keeping the waffles light and tender.
- A preheated waffle pan ensures that the batter starts cooking immediately, leading to waffles with a crispy exterior.
- Serve your waffles immediately or keep them warm in a 200°F oven while you finish cooking the rest. This will help them maintain their crispy texture.
