Mini Waffles

These mini waffles are crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and just the right size for little hands. They're perfect to batch-make, freeze, and reheat for those busy mornings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the mini waffle iron.
  • In a bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter or oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • To the same bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until just combined.
  • Pour a little less than 1/4 cup of the batter into the mini waffle iron and cook it until the steam slows down and golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Place finished waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking so they don’t steam and soften.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter. Stir just until combined. A few small lumps are okay and will keep the waffles tender instead of dense.
  • 'Don’t overfill the mini waffle maker. About 3 tablespoons of batter per mini waffle is plenty to avoid spillovers. If you want to save on time, you can use this multi-mini waffle maker that cooks 4 mini waffles at once.
  • Wait until the steam slows down before opening the waffle maker. This helps the waffles cook through and crisp up.
  • Place cooked waffles on a rack instead of stacking so they don’t get soggy from trapped steam.
