This Simple Homemade Fluffy Waffle Recipe is just that, simple. Using simple ingredients, it is easy to put together and is a winner for everyone! They are lightly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside!

This fluffy and crispy waffle (we are covering the best of both worlds here) is always best when covered in real butter and real maple syrup. If you don’t like following the norm though, one of my favorite ways to eat it is slathered with peanut butter and real maple syrup. Oh and don’t forget the side of bacon or sausage!

How To Make Simple Homemade Fluffy Waffles

FIRST

Add your raw honey or raw sugar, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, salt and vanilla to a mixing bowl, mix well.

Add in your avocado oil and milk and combine.

THEN

Toss in your flour, and protein powder and mix well. Don’t be afraid of lumps, they are ok.

LAST

Go ahead and add in any mix ins if you’d like those and combine gently.

OR…

To be honest, this is a forgiving recipe, you can toss everything in a bowl (still adding the flour last) and mix. That is why I love this one for kids.

Now it’s time to cook your homemade fluffy waffles!

Add your choice of coconut oil, avocado oil, butter or spray to your waffle iron. Most irons will let you know whey they are ready. If not, let it heat for about 30 to 60 seconds to make sure it has heated up.

Then, add in your scoop of batter leaving room for spreading (the size you make will depend on preference and size of your iron.) I like just using a muffin scoop or the scoop that came with my iron. Remember, it may not look too full but it WILL spread out.

Now don’t touch them. Just watch and wait. Again, most waffle irons will indicate when the waffle is done. The outside should be a nice golden brown, leaving the inside fluffy.

Top with your favorite syrup or toppings and enjoy!
