Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup light, extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 1.5 cups water
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Your Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the plates with a little olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Whisk well until fully combined and no lumps remain.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup (120ml) olive oil, 2 large eggs, 1.5 cups (360ml) water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until the ingredients are smooth and evenly mixed, with a slightly frothy top.
- Combine & Mix: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk or spatula just until combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine; avoid overmixing. If your batter looks too thin, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour; if it’s too thick, add a splash of water until it reaches a pourable but still substantial consistency.
- Cook Waffles: Ladle about 0.5 to 0.75 cup of batter (depending on your waffle iron size) onto the hot, prepared iron. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and steam stops significantly, which typically takes 3-5 minutes.
- Serve Warm: Carefully remove the cooked waffles using a fork or tongs. Enjoy immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
To ensure your waffles turn out perfectly golden and crisp, make sure your waffle iron is hot enough from the start. Don’t open the iron too early during cooking, as this prevents proper browning and can tear the waffles. Under-mixing batter is better than over-mixing, which leads to tough textures, so resist the urge to keep stirring! You can substitute 1:1 gluten-free flour, 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce for some olive oil, maple syrup or honey for sugar, or any dairy-free milk alternative for water.
