Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 3/4 cups water, adjust as necessary
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Waffle Maker: Preheat your Belgian waffle maker according to the manufacturers instructions.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the vegetable oil and water (and vanilla extract if using) to the eggs and mix until combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined; do not overmix—its okay if there are a few lumps.
  5. Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with non-stick spray or brush it with oil. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle maker (usually about 1 cup but refer to your machines guidelines). Close lid and cook according to your machines instructions until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Serve Immediately: Carefully remove waffles from the iron using tongs or a fork. Serve warm topped with maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or any toppings of your choice!
