These Churro Waffles are tender, sweet, and slightly crunchy on the outside!
You know churros: the fried dough pastry that’s often coated in cinnamon and sugar. The cinnamon sugar coating gives a slight crunch to these tender, cinnamon-y waffles.
I drizzled these waffles with just a bit of maple syrup. They’d be great with a chocolate sauce, too. I love how that bit of syrup looks, pooling on the napkin.
These churro waffles are a jazzed up version of my Classic Waffle recipe. If you’re looking for other waffle recipes, also check out my Pumpkin Waffles and Sweet Potato Waffles with Candied Pecans.
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbs baking powder
- 1 1/2 tbs sugar
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 egg whites, beaten until stiff
- 2 tbs unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
-
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon together. Set aside.
-
Add the milk, egg yolks, vegetable oil, and vanilla to a large measuring cup. Whisk to combine.Pour the liquid into the flour mixture. Whisk until just combined.
-
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter.
-
Pour batter into your waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer's directions until they reach the desired color.
-
While the waffles are cooking, mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
-
Immediately after removing the waffles from the waffle maker, brush one side with melted butter. Sprinkle the buttered side liberally with the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
These look amazing!
I can just imagine what the whole house will smell like while these are cooking. Can’t wait to try them.
