How to Make Whole Wheat Cinnamon Waffles

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently stir in 1 1/2 cups buttermilk.
  5. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Lightly coat the grids with vegetable cooking spray.
  6. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on your waffle iron.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter, spraying the grids with cooking spray between each waffle.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, jam, or warm fruit compote.
