Cereal Waffles

Give your waffle iron something new to talk about. These aren’t your standard Sunday waffles.

Multi-grain cereal gets stirred straight into the batter alongside chopped raisins, adding nutty crunch and little pockets of sweetness in every square. The batter itself is simple: flour, egg, milk, and a touch of sugar. No fuss.

They come off the iron with crispy edges and a heartier chew than plain waffles, making them feel more like a real breakfast and less like a vehicle for syrup. Though a generous pour of maple syrup and a pat of butter certainly don’t hurt.

Pro Tips

• Preheat the waffle iron thoroughly before adding batter. A properly hot iron is what gives you that satisfying crunch on the outside.
• Chop the raisins so they distribute evenly through the batter instead of clumping in one spot
• Don’t overmix. A few lumps in the batter are fine and actually make for lighter, fluffier waffles.
• Try these with sliced bananas and a drizzle of honey for a change from the classic maple syrup and butter
