Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup ube puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking and perfect crispiness.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined and aerated.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then mix in the ube puree, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Create Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
- Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron and pour in the batter, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook until the waffles turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior, usually about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
- Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve hot with your favorite toppings like syrup, butter, whipped cream, or fresh fruits.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- If ube puree is unavailable, frozen or canned versions work well.
- Light greasing of the waffle iron prevents sticking without making waffles oily.
- Waffles are best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven.
- Experiment with toppings such as coconut flakes or toasted nuts to complement the ube flavor.
