Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cups Milk (any kind)
• 0.33 cups Melted unsalted butter or neutral oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter (or oil), honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir the mixture gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps in the batter are normal.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter, if needed.

Step 6

Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, about 3–5 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffle and transfer it to a cooling rack to prevent it from becoming soggy. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, maple syrup, or nut butter. Enjoy!
