Waffle Batter
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ¼ cups milk (or almond/oat milk for vegan)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (or vegan butter)
Cinnamon Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for vegan)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Prepare the waffle batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, sugar, and ground cinnamon. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the melted butter and milk. Gradually combine the wet ingredients into the dry until just mixed, careful not to overmix to keep the batter fluffy.
- Cook the waffles: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour enough batter to cover the waffle plate, cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions (usually 3-5 minutes) until golden brown with crispy edges. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Make the cinnamon whipped cream: Chill a mixing bowl and beaters for 10 minutes in the fridge. Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl, add powdered sugar and a pinch of ground cinnamon, then whip until soft peaks form. Taste and adjust cinnamon or sugar as desired.
- Serve and enjoy: Stack waffles on warm plates and dollop generously with cinnamon whipped cream. For extra flair, drizzle with maple syrup or sprinkle a little additional cinnamon on top before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs and milk to help the batter blend smoothly and rise well.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure waffles remain tender and fluffy.
- Preheat the waffle iron thoroughly for crisp edges and perfect golden color.
- Chill mixing tools and cream for the best whipped cream texture.
- Waffles can be made ahead, frozen, and reheated for quick breakfasts.
