Ingredients
Scale
Waffle Batter
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups milk (use plant-based milk for vegan option)
- 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
- 4 tablespoons melted butter (or plant-based butter for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free/vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the waffle batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter is smooth but not overmixed to keep the waffles light.
- Cook the waffles: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it. Pour the batter onto the hot surface, spreading gently to fill the grid. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 3-5 minutes depending on your machine.
- Make the cinnamon whipped cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and a generous pinch of cinnamon until soft peaks form. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as desired. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Assemble and serve: Stack the warm cinnamon waffles on plates, dollop or pipe the cinnamon whipped cream generously on top, and add any extra garnishes or toppings you love. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep waffles tender and avoid a dense texture.
- Preheat and grease the waffle iron well to ensure waffles release easily and cook evenly.
- Use chilled heavy cream for the whipped cream; it whips faster and holds peaks better.
- Add cinnamon gradually in the whipped cream to balance sweetness and spice perfectly.
- Keep cooked waffles warm on a wire rack in a low oven to maintain crispness while finishing the batch.
