Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking spray or extra butter for greasing waffle iron
Maple syrup for serving
Powdered sugar for topping
Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
5. Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes to help create fluffier waffles.
6. Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron, using enough to cover most of the surface without overflowing.
7. Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
8. Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a baking sheet in a warm oven while cooking the remaining batter.
9. Serve the waffles warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
10. Enjoy immediately for the best crispy texture and warm cinnamon flavor.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter because it can make the waffles dense instead of fluffy.
For extra crispy waffles, place them directly on the oven rack in a warm oven for a few minutes before serving.
These waffles freeze well and can be reheated in a toaster for quick breakfasts during the week.
