Instructions


1.

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. It is important to get the waffle iron hot before adding the batter to ensure the waffles cook properly and evenly.

2.

In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. Make sure there are no lumps for a smooth batter.

3.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Ensure the egg is fully incorporated.

4.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to tough waffles.

5.

Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using the amount recommended by the waffle iron manufacturer (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup per waffle). Make sure to spread the batter evenly.

6.

Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crisp, usually 3-5 minutes. Follow the waffle iron's instructions and be patient to allow the waffles to fully cook.

7.

Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes


1.

For extra fluffy waffles, separate the egg and beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the batter at the end.

2.

You can add blueberries, chocolate chips, or other mix-ins to the batter for added flavor.

3.

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
