Warm, nutty, and gently spiced, these Whole Wheat Waffles are a cozy way to start the day. Perfect for weekend breakfasts or busy weekday mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 and 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle maker on medium-high heat and set your oven to 200°F (93°C).
  2. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set it in the warm oven.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, and brown sugar until smooth.
  5. Whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform.
  6. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Lightly grease the waffle maker and pour about 1/3 cup of batter into each well.
  8. Cook the waffles for 4 to 5 minutes until crisp and golden.
  9. Transfer the cooked waffles to the warm oven rack to keep them crisp.
  10. Repeat with the remaining batter and serve immediately with toppings.

Notes

For added crispiness, keep waffles on a wire rack in a warm oven instead of stacking them.
