Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 cup milk (at room temperature)
- ½ cup Nutella
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
For Serving
- Whipped cream
- Fresh fruits (such as strawberries)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Turn on your waffle maker and allow it to heat up according to the manufacturer’s instructions for optimal cooking temperature.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Combine eggs and Nutella: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly, then add the Nutella. Use a whisk or hand mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add remaining wet ingredients: Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the Nutella-egg mixture, whisking until the batter is smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, gently stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles tender.
- Cook the waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour approximately ⅓ cup of batter onto the center and spread evenly. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker’s guidelines until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve warm: Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately. Top with additional Nutella drizzles, whipped cream, fresh strawberries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an indulgent breakfast treat.
Notes
- Ensure eggs and milk are at room temperature for smoother batter and better texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles; a few lumps are okay.
- Use fresh fruits like strawberries or bananas to complement the Nutella flavor perfectly.
- Waffle cook time varies by machine; watch for a golden, crispy exterior.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven.
