Ingredients

2 ½ cup white whole wheat flour (350 g / 570 ml)
100 g raisins
2 eggs
3 cup milk (700 ml)
½ cup vegetable oil (130 ml)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

Preheat your waffle maker while you prepare the waffle batter.
Combine the baking powder, cinnamon and flour in a bowl.
Add the eggs, milk, maple syrup and vegetable oil, and stir to combine into a smooth waffle batter.
It’s fine if there are some small lumps throughout. Finally, add the raisins and get ready to cook the waffles.
You might want to brush some oil or butter onto the waffle maker to keep the waffles from sticking. If you use a non stick waffle maker, this should not be necessary.
Ladle the batter into the waffle moulds. The raisins will fall to the bottom of the batter, so make sure to scoop some up in every ladle.

Notes

Are these waffles allergy friendly? – This recipe is nut free and soy free. Always consult the nutrition labels of the ingredients you use to ensure that they are suitable for your dietary requirements.

Can I use other dried fruit? – Yep. These waffles can be made without raisins, or using other dried fruits instead. Try cranberries for a festive holiday version!

Leftovers

Leftover cinnamon raisin waffles can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also safely store the waffle batter in an airtight container for up to 3 days for quick and easy freshly made breakfast waffles through the week.

Lastly, whole wheat waffles can also be frozen! Reheat frozen waffles in a toaster oven, or thaw them in the fridge overnight before serving them.

Top tips

These waffles are so easy to make, there’s no way you can get it wrong. But regardless, here’s my best advice to cook perfect, fluffy, delicious cinnamon raisin waffles:

I know 4 teaspoon baking powder sounds like a lot, but trust me, it’s the correct amount and it makes the best fluffy, thick waffles.
If you’re a big fan of lots of raisins, you can double the amount.
If you’re struggling to get the raisins evenly distributed through the waffles, you can sprinkle them over the waffles in the waffle maker as you cook them instead of adding them to the batter.
The whole wheat flour makes the waffles healthy, filling and delicous. If you don’t have it available, you can use plain white flour or oat flour instead.
