4.6 from 79 reviews

This Whole Wheat Waffles recipe offers a healthier twist on traditional waffles by using King Arthur Golden Wheat Flour. The batter is simple to prepare, combining dry ingredients with wet ones including egg, milk, and melted butter or vegetable oil. The waffles cook quickly in a preheated waffle iron, resulting in warm, golden, slightly crispy waffles perfect for a nutritious breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (170g) King Arthur Golden Wheat Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups (340g) milk, lukewarm
  • 5 tablespoons (71g) butter, melted or 1/3 cup (67g) vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions to ensure it is hot and ready to cook the batter properly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together the golden wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the egg, lukewarm milk, and melted butter or vegetable oil until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Create Batter: Add the wet mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined; it’s fine if the batter is a bit lumpy, as overmixing can toughen the waffles.
  5. Cook Waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron according to your appliance’s instructions. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Remove carefully and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use lukewarm milk to help activate the baking powder for better rise.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  • You can substitute melted butter with vegetable oil for a dairy-free version.
  • Serve waffles immediately or keep warm in a low oven until ready to eat.
  • Add toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or yogurt for variety.
