Belgian Waffles Recipe
This Belgian Waffles recipe is the perfect addition to your morning breakfast table. Whole grain, delicious and filling, you’ll make these again and again!
I never had Belgian waffles before this. Call me crazy, but I just never understood the difference between a regular waffle and a Belgian waffle. And frankly, I never wanted to pay extra for something that was essentially the same.
Well, I’m here to tell you that I am not only humbled by the difference now that I’ve had one but over-the-top crazy about them! I may never make the regular kind again!
These come out much lighter and crispier. Perfect for just about any topping you want to add.
I had to play tug-of-war with Mini Chef just to get one last bite before he finished scarfing the majority of them down. Growing boys sure can eat!

Belgian Waffles Recipe
Equipment
- Belgian Waffle Maker
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (affiliate link)
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 3 large egg whites
- 1½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp. active dry yeast
Instructions
- Warm the milk in a pot until it reaches between 105-115 degrees F. This happens pretty quickly, so keep an eye on it.
- Add the yeast to the milk and allow to stand until it has a small amount of foam on top. It won't foam a lot because there is no sugar to feed the yeast. But there will be a small, thin layer as the yeast dissolves.
- Combine everything together in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until you have no lumps left.
- Let the batter rest for about 20 minutes. (I used this time to start heating the waffle iron and slicing fruit for toppings, setting the table, etc…)
- When your batter has rested and your waffle iron is hot, pour the batter in and cook as usual. The waffles are done when they are crispy.
- Top with fruit or whatever toppings you prefer and enjoy!
Sarah – Let me know how you like them!
Is this made in a regular size waffle maker or a mini ?
Melissa – It’s made in a Belgian waffle maker. They are typically bigger than a standard waffle.

Yay! Hope you enjoy them!
Mary – Hope you enjoy them!
Yes.
Caryn – Belgian waffles typically have yeast. You could experiment a bit with the brownie waffles and see if it works. It very well may!
Yum! Glad you enjoyed it!
They may not get as crispy or be as light, but they will certainly cook just fine. Enjoy!
The pastry version is always better. But in a pinch, the white whole wheat will work. It will just be a more “bready” waffle.
Yes it is. Enjoy!
Gscearbo – No, I would make a large batch on the weekend and freeze them. Then just pop in the toaster to reheat.

Wow! Best waffles ever!!! Both my 8 and 11 year old loved them and my husband who is notorious for sniffing out healthy and not liking it 🙂 Thanks!
