Kid-Approved Tasty Waffle Recipe
Making this tasty waffle recipe is super easy!
Preheat a waffle iron. Whisk together in a large bowl:
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp sea salt
In another bowl, blend together:
3 eggs
1 stick olive oil blend butter (such as Land O’Lakes), melted and cooled to room temperature
1 1/2 cups milk (I used low-fat milk)
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Combine with a few swift strokes with the whisk. It should resemble thick muffin batter. Do not over mix. Most waffle irons will use about heaping 1/2 cup batter per waffle. Cook waffles until lightly brown. Enjoy with real maple syrup, fresh fruit or sugar-free syrup.

You lost me at heat the waffle iron, haha. Have you tried this with whole wheat flour? Curious.
I have used whole wheat flour. My kids prefer the white-wheat or unbleached all purposed flour. I stay away from using bleached flour (don’t even buy the stuff.)
Question: do you use melted butter or soften?
It should be melted and cooled to room temperature.
My kids love this recipe! They prefer them over their freezer waffles and French toast sticks. These also reheat well in a toaster and they’re so easy to throw together. I never leave reviews on recipe blogs but these are such a hit with my kids I felt I had too.
Thank you, Jessica! I really appreciate the feedback! I’m so glad that your kids loved them! 🙂
AMAZING! I use this recipe all the time, and my family loves it!
Yay! I’m so glad that you enjoy the recipe as much as we do! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
