Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional
- Nutella, as needed (about 1–2 teaspoons per waffle)
- Nonstick spray or butter for greasing waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat and Grease: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with nonstick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Make Batter: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined; it’s important not to overmix as a few lumps in the batter are ideal for tender waffles.
- Assemble Waffles: Pour a small amount of waffle batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, spoon 1–2 teaspoons of Nutella onto the batter, and then cover with additional batter to seal the Nutella inside.
- Cook: Close the waffle iron and cook the waffle for about 3–5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp to your liking, following your waffle iron’s guidance.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffle and serve warm immediately to enjoy the melted Nutella center. Repeat the process with remaining batter and Nutella to make all 6 waffles.
Notes
- For best results, do not overmix the batter to keep waffles tender.
- Use fresh Nutella for a creamy, melted center.
- If your waffle iron does not have a nonstick surface, use extra butter to avoid sticking.
- Serve waffles immediately for best texture; leftovers can be reheated in a toaster or oven.
- Feel free to add toppings like fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar to enhance the flavor.
