How to Make Cinnamon Waffles

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. (The peaks should softly droop when you lift the beaters.)
  5. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
  7. Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron for each waffle.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Top with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
