Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ⅔ cups (320g) whole wheat pastry flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups low-fat buttermilk (dairy or nut milk)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- non-stick cooking spray
- toppings of choice: maple syrup, fresh fruit, nut butter, Greek yogurt, whipped cream, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter, whisking until just combined—there should be no flour streaks, but avoid overmixing.
- Spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour in ½ cup of batter for each waffle, filling the grids without overflow. Cook as per your waffle iron's instructions until golden brown and crispy.
- Keep finished waffles warm in a 200°F oven, arranged in a single layer on the rack. Continue with the remaining batter.
- Serve the waffles hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute the buttermilk with nut milk and add a tablespoon of vinegar.
For a crispier texture, let the batter sit for a few minutes before using it.
