Light, fluffy, and brimming with toasty-sweet flavor, these Cinnamon Maple Burst Waffles are the perfect way to transform a simple weekend morning into a memorable one. With a hint of warm spice and a crispy golden crust, each bite is comfort on a plate.
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1¾ cups buttermilk (or milk of choice)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Maple syrup, for topping
Instructions
Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to its instructions. While it heats, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture just until combined—do not overmix.
Once your batter is ready, give your waffle iron a quick coating of nonstick spray or brush it lightly with oil. Ladle in enough batter to fill the waffle iron’s surface without overflowing, and close the lid. Cook until the waffle is puffy and golden brown—about 3 to 4 minutes, depending on your iron. Repeat for the remaining batter.
When the waffles are done, stack them on a plate and drizzle with your favorite maple syrup. If you really want to elevate the experience, throw on a sprinkling of fresh fruit or a little whipped cream on top.
These Cinnamon Maple Burst Waffles are a treat for anyone who craves a comforting breakfast without fuss. They’re wonderfully adaptable—try using almond milk and a dairy-free butter substitute for a vegan twist. Swap in half whole wheat flour for a nutty boost, or switch up spices with a dash of nutmeg or cardamom. Whether you’re feeding a crowd of brunch enthusiasts or treating yourself to a peaceful morning, you’ll love how this recipe’s crunchy exterior and fluffy interior come together in such a delicious way.
