Equipment
- 1 waffle iron
- 1 bowl large
Ingredients
- 2 eggs large
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1¾ cups milk
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 4 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron. I like to set my waffle iron to 4 or 5.
- In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients- eggs, milk, oil, maple syrup. Whisk well.
- To the wet ingredients, add the dry ingredients plus butter- flour, baking powder, salt and butter. Stir until fully combined. It's okay if there are still lumps.
- If needed, spray your waffle iron with non-stick spray, otherwise, pour ½ cup batter onto your waffle iron. You may need more if your waffle iron is larger.
- Allow the waffle to cook until the waffle iron tells you it's done. About 5 minutes. You will notice the "steaming" will quit when the waffle is fully cooked.
- Repeat with the rest of the batter.
- Enjoy with jam, powdered sugar, or syrup!
Notes
- If you would like to keep the cooked waffles warm while finishing up cooking the rest of the batter, put the cooked waffles on a baking sheet at 200 degrees F to keep warm.
- Different waffle irons may vary, but they are usually pretty similar. The waffle iron will let you know when the waffle is fully cooked.
- Make sure your waffle iron is completely heated up before adding the first batch of batter.
- Waffle batter is thinner than pancake batter, so don't be surprised if it looks and feels thinner.
- Let your batter rest while you prepare the toppings and heat up your waffle iron.
