Description
A delightful twist on traditional waffles featuring ube, a purple yam known for its creamy texture and subtly sweet flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ube (fresh, frozen, or ube powder)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup light brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker: Give it a few minutes to heat up while you prepare the batter.
- Prepare the ube: If using fresh ube, peel, cube, and steam until tender, then mash it until smooth.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sugar.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Fold in the mashed ube until smooth.
- Combine mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; batter should be lumpy.
- Cook the waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron and pour in the recommended amount of batter. Cook until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately: Top with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
Notes
For the crispiest results, ensure your waffle maker is adequately heated. To keep waffles crispy, serve on a cooling rack.
