Homemade Waffles

This morning we debated over pancakes or waffles for breakfast (well, the boys were debating). Waffles won out, so we tried a new recipe for them with the new waffle maker. They turned out great! This is a recipe I will definitely use again. For a healthier version of this recipe, you could easily substitute the all purpose flour with whole wheat, and use apple sauce in lieu of the oil. Top with fresh fruit and you have an excellent breakfast (lunch or dinner!). Enjoy!

Homemade Waffles
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups AP flour
  • 1 tbsp white sugar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
1. Separate eggs between 2 large bowls. Using a hand mixer, beat eggs white until light and fluffy (and stiff), then set aside.
2. Beat eggs yolks until fluffy. Add the rest of the ingredients to the egg yolks and beat just until smooth.
3. Fold egg whites into batter until just combined.
4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter (per waffle) onto lightly greased waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. Serve immediately and ENJOY!
