Recipe: Seriously Scrumptious, Ridiculously Easy Waffles

There are only two reasons I willingly get out of bed before 8 in the morning: the smell of freshly brewed coffee, and the sound of something or someone crashing/breaking/crying/screaming.

SERIOUSLY SCRUMPTIOUS WAFFLES

Makes: 8 Eggo-sized waffles

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all purpose flour (scooped and leveled)

• 4 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

• 1 3/4 cup buttermilk (whole milk works too)

• 2 eggs (at room temperature) or flax egg replacement

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

• room temperature butter and maple syrup, jam, lemon curd and smashed blackberries, Nutella or topping of your choice for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

- Preheat waffle iron

- Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl - Mix milk, eggs and oil in medium bowl, then gently add to dry ingredients until just combined (batter should be nice and fluffy)

- Add about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle, then cook according to waffle iron manufacturer's instructions (ours goes until steam no longer appears and waffles are nice and crunchy on the outside)

- Add toppings and serve immediately

NOTES

- Kids can help with the ingredient measurements, additions and mixing

​- These freeze well and can be reheated in a toaster oven
