✅ Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make these Belgian waffles:

Dry Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour (sub whole wheat for healthier version)

Sugar: 2 tbsp regular or brown or coconut sugar

1 tbsp baking powder (to help the waffles rise)

½ tsp salt (for balance)

Wet Ingredients:

1 ¾ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)

¼ cup butter or oil (melted)

1 tbsp cider or lemon juice (this will react with the baking powder to make it fluffy)

1 tsp vanilla extract (for flavor with a punch!)

That’s it! These are ingredients you likely already have on hand.

✅ Step-by-Step Instructions

It is so simple to make these waffles. Just follow these steps:

Step 1: Preheat your waffle maker

Heat up your waffle maker and [make] hot waffle. If a grease is required for your waffle maker, lightly brush it with oil or butter.

Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. It evenly spreads everything out, in my experience.

Step 3: combine the wet ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter or oil,vinegar and vanilla extract. Stir well.

Step 4: Combine the wet and dry ingredients

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry mixture. Fold in gently until just combined. The batter should be a little lumpy—don’t overmix!

Step 5: Cook the Waffles

Add the batter to the hot waffle maker.

Cover and cook until golden brown and crispy (4-5 minutes).

Gently lift out the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve your waffles with syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or your other topping of choice. Enjoy them warm!

✅ How to Make Belgian Waffles, with Tips

✔ Rest the batter for 5 minutes — This helps make the waffles extra fluffy.

✔ Do Not over mix the batter – Over mixing can make them dense.

✔ Use a hot waffle maker — A properly heated waffle maker contributes crispy edges.

✔Grease the waffle maker if necessary — Stops waffles from sticking

.

✔ Warm the waffles in the oven – Put your waffles in a 200°F (90°C) oven as you make the rest.

✔ Make them in advance & freeze — Cook cool, then freeze in an airtight bag. Toast when ready to eat!

✅ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these waffles gluten-free?

Yes! Simply use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.

What can I use in place of butter or oil?

You can substitute a few tablespoons of applesauce or mashed bananas, though the texture will probably vary a bit.

Can I get rid of sugar in these waffles?

Yes! You can leave out the sugar or use a natural sweetener like maple syrup.

What’s the best way to store leftover waffles?

Cool them completely, then to store, keep in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days. Freeze for longer-term storage and reheat in a toaster or hot oven.

Why are my waffles not crispy?

Don’t stack hot waffles—they’ll go soggy; and make sure your waffle maker is hot enough before you start cooking. Let them cool on a wire rack.
