Homemade Mini Waffles
These mini-sized waffles are the perfect base for any additions you want to add, sweet or savory. They make for a fun, customizable breakfast for a slow morning or the weekend.
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (Plain)
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt (Morton kosher salt)
- Non-stick cooking spray
- syrup and butter for serving
- Optional, savory additions (like cheddar, shredded potato, sliced scallions)
- Optional, sweet additions (like chocolate chips or blueberries)
Measure out and mix together milk, Greek yogurt, vegetable oil and egg. Whisk together to combine completely. I usually do this in a glass liquid measuring cup.
In a medium-sized bowl, measure and whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Add the liquid mix to the dry ingredients, whisking to combine- but be careful not to overmix.
Mix in additions of your choice to the batter, sweet or savory. Or, leave the batter plain.
Preheat your mini waffle iron, and preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Once heated, spray with non-stick cooking spray or butter, and scoop 1/4 cup of batter into the iron.
Place a wire rack onto a sheet tray, and keep it in the oven. As you cook each waffle, add it to the tray in the oven. This will keep them warm until serving, and can help crisp up the waffles after the initial cook!
Serve with butter and warmed syrup, and enjoy!
I use a mini waffle maker to make about 8 small-sized waffles with this recipe. With a regular-sized waffle iron, this recipe may make 4 waffles. For a larger batch, or for a larger waffle maker, double the recipe.
Some of my favorite savory additions are cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, and shredded potatoes. My favorite sweet additions are blueberries or chocolate chips. Split the batter to make half-savory, half-sweet!
Instead of Greek yogurt, use sour cream in place, or butter milk in place of the yogurt and milk.
