Best Nutella Waffles
Best Nutella Waffles feature a batter mixing milk and Nutella to infuse chocolate-hazelnut flavor throughout. The waffles bake to a golden brown exterior with a tender interior, offering a rich yet balanced taste. The recipe uses vanilla extract and melted butter to enhance depth and aroma. These waffles can be topped with additional Nutella, fresh fruit, or syrup for a versatile breakfast or dessert option.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk I love vanilla almond milk
- ½ cup Nutella plus more for drizzling
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon butter melted, unsalted
- 1 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour regular or this 1:1 gluten-free baking flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Nutella extra, for drizzling
Instructions
- Add the milk and Nutella to a high-speed blender. Blend for 20 - 30 seconds until fully combined. It should resemble chocolate milk.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs then mix in the Nutella-milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and whisk gently until a batter is formed, some lumps are OK! Do not over-mix – it will make the waffles tough. Add 1 – 3 Tablespoons more of milk if the batter is too thick.
- Heat a waffle iron (or a mini waffle maker) and lightly grease it with non-stick spray or butter. Once hot, spoon batter into the iron. You can even drizzle extra Nutella on top of the batter and use a spoon to swirl it. Close the waffle iron a cook until golden brown and the center is cooked through. Tip: The amount of batter and cook time depends on the size and strength of your waffle iron. For best results, follow the time recommended by your waffle maker.
- Repeat until you’ve used all your batter.
- Let waffles sit for 1 - 2 minutes before serving warm with toppings of your choice - I love extra Nutella, fresh fruit, and whipped cream!
Notes
- Drizzle additional Nutella on warm waffles or serve with fresh berries and whipped cream for variety.
- Use different flours like bread or whole wheat for subtle flavor changes, noting it affects texture.
- Freeze cooked waffles for up to 2 months; reheat in toaster or oven to preserve crispness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; avoid microwaving when reheating to prevent sogginess.
