What Is The Best Belgian Waffle Maker to Buy?
We absolutely love this Belgian waffle maker which made perfectly crisp and fluffy waffles every time. It also has over 10k amazing reviews on Amazon, which is why we gave it a shot…. and wow am I glad we did! We had a normal waffle maker for years, but recently upgraded to this version which makes deeper, thicker Belgian waffles. I wish we had gotten it sooner. This waffle maker is simple to use, easy to clean, and makes perfect Belgian waffles in minutes. Great for sweet or savory waffles that everyone will love!
What’s In Cornbread Waffles?
- All Purpose Flour: I normally use King Arthur organic all purpose flour for all my recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces. If you are gluten free, then a gluten free flour would be a nice substitute in this dish. If you want to keep it a little wholesome, you can use half whole wheat flour as well.
- Corn Meal: I like this medium corn meal, I always keep some in my pantry. It’s great for adding texture to pizza crusts (also the secret for keeping them from sticking on a pizza peel!) and breads, and also to make homemade corn bread.
- Almond Milk – I used unsweetened Almond Milk for my version of this recipe. I prefer almond milk, which Silk has a shelf-stable version that lasts up to a year in the pantry!
- Baking Powder: I like this low sodium baking powder which is great for keeping the sodium down in baked goods.
- Apple Cider Vinegar, which gives this waffles a little extra tang which is really fantastic! I love using this organic apple cider vinegar with the mother which has a great flavor. I think it gives a nice extra sweetness and depth.
- Flaxseed Meal: I always add a scoop in my oatmeal for a little extra nutritional punch! This flaxseed meal has a wonderful nutty flavor too. Flaxseeds have a ton of amazing health benefits, so add a scoop to breakfasts, lunches, or smoothies!
- Agave Syrup: I really like using this raw organic agave syrup because it’s a natural and sustainable sweetener, plus it is ridiculously inexpensive online so I always keep a few of these bottles in my Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give these cookies an #extra boost.
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt. It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
- Cinnamon: which gives these waffles a subtle spice-y flavor! I love to add in a pinch for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
