Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup ube puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is properly hot before cooking.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the ube puree, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain waffle lightness.
- Cook the waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with oil or cooking spray. Pour in the batter, close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense waffles.
- Ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated for crispy results.
- You can use coconut milk instead of regular milk for a richer flavor.
- For extra crispiness, brush the cooked waffles with a bit of melted butter.
- Ube puree can be found in Filipino or Asian grocery stores, or you can make your own by steaming and mashing purple yam.
