These churro waffles feature a crispy cinnamon sugar crust and a soft, tender inside, making them a fun and addictive breakfast treat that kids love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1¾ cups milk (420ml), whole or 2%
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter (75ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100g) for cinnamon sugar crust
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for cinnamon sugar crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron for 5 minutes until fully hot.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs lightly. Add milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl or jar for the cinnamon sugar crust.
  6. Brush a thin layer of oil on the waffle iron plates, then sprinkle a generous tablespoon or two of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the surface.
  7. Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes until waffles are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Carefully remove waffles with a spatula and place on a wire rack. Repeat brushing oil and sprinkling cinnamon sugar before each batch.
  9. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or whipped cream as desired.

Notes

Brush a thin layer of oil on the waffle iron before sprinkling cinnamon sugar to ensure a crispy crust without burning. Use fresh cinnamon for best flavor. Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles tender. Cool waffles on a wire rack to prevent sogginess. Waffles can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen individually.
