Description
Delightful waffles made with ube, offering a perfect balance of crispy edges and tender interiors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ube (purple yam), freshly steamed and mashed or store-bought puree
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar (granulated or coconut)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut/vegetable oil)
- 2 eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well blended.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine mashed ube, milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Bring it all together: Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; some lumps are perfectly fine.
- Preheat your waffle iron: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your waffle iron and ensure it’s hot and ready.
- Cook the waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with a bit of oil or cooking spray, then ladle the batter into the center, spreading it out slightly. Close the iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4-6 minutes.
- Serve warm: Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter. Enjoy immediately or let them sit for a moment to cool slightly.
Notes
For a crispy exterior, ensure your waffle iron is properly preheated.
