Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 and 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle maker on medium-high heat and set your oven to 200°F (93°C).
  2. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet in the warm oven.
  3. Whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and brown sugar.
  5. Whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla extract into the wet mixture until combined.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk gently to combine.
  7. Lightly grease the waffle maker and pour about 1/3 cup of batter into each well.
  8. Cook the waffles for 4 to 5 minutes until crisp.
  9. Transfer the cooked waffles to the warm oven rack.
  10. Repeat with the remaining batter and serve immediately with toppings of your choice.

Notes

For extra crispness, leave cooked waffles on the oven rack rather than stacking them. Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
