This fluffy whole wheat waffles recipe turns out perfectly every time. These easy waffles are light, crispy, and made from scratch. Only you will know they're 100% whole-grain.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients, whisking well.
1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled, 2 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1 tsp almond extract, 1 egg, 1 1/2 cups milk
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the wet. Whisk to combine, without over mixing (some lumps are ok!).
Allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes while you preheat the waffle iron. Don't rush this step, as resting the batter allows it to develop the air bubbles that will create a fluffy product.
Make waffles according to your waffle maker's instructions.
Notes
Do not overmix; some lumps are ok!
Do allow the batter to sit for 5-10 minutes while the waffle iron preheats. This allows the glutens to develop delightful air bubbles which makes the waffles extra fluffy.
If you use all-purpose flour, you can omit the vital wheat gluten from the mixture.
