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 waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking the waffles evenly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the ube puree, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to retain waffle fluffiness.
- Cook waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron, pour the batter in, close the lid, and cook until the waffles turn golden brown and develop a crispy texture on the outside, usually 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve hot with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruits.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense waffles; lumps are okay.
- If you prefer crispier waffles, leave them on the waffle iron a little longer, but be careful not to burn.
- Ube puree can be found in specialty Asian markets or online.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or coconut milk.
- These waffles freeze well; reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
