Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
Add-ins and Toppings
- 1 peeled and grated apple
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Extra cinnamon (for topping)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- Get prepped: Gather all ingredients and prepare your waffle iron by preheating it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and dark brown sugar until well blended.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter until fully combined.
- Make the batter: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently just until combined to avoid overmixing.
- Add grated apple: Fold in the peeled and grated apple carefully to distribute it evenly throughout the batter.
- Prepare waffle iron: Lightly spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook the waffles: Pour the batter onto the waffle iron in batches, cooking according to your waffle iron’s instructions until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve and garnish: Remove waffles from the iron and top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of extra cinnamon, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor every bite of these warm, flavorful waffles.
Notes
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free variation.
- Use a tart apple like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness and tang.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
- Adding a pinch of nutmeg can enhance the spice flavor if desired.
