Belgian waffles are a delicious morning treat that is simple to make at home. They have a crunchy exterior and a fluffy inside and light.

You may top them with anything from your refrigerator for a tasty, substantial lunch! Here are 12 Belgian waffle recipes for you to try at home. They are perfect for summer picnic treats and breakfast.

Belgian Waffles compared to Regular Waffles.

But what distinguishes regular waffles from Belgian waffles? Belgian waffles are distinguished from conventional waffles by their thicker, less often yeast batter and extra-large, deep square pockets that can be filled with butter, jam, or maple syrup.

As in this recipe, a leavening agent or egg whites are frequently added to the batter for Belgian waffles to make it lighter and fluffier than conventional waffle batter. Square, rectangular, or circular Belgian waffles can be cooked in various waffle pans. You will find them to be incredibly delectable regardless of form.

Although the basic components in waffle and pancake batter are the same, there are important distinctions between these breakfast options: Ratios: Compared to pancake batter, waffle batter has a larger sugar, butter, and egg content, giving it a richer batter with more fat.

The extra-deep pockets of Belgian waffles are adored because they are ideal for storing butter, jam, or maple syrup. They are baked with a batter of yeast with crunchy pearl sugar, frequently thicker than American equivalents. Nothing compares to a traditional Belgian waffle.

Tips for the best Belgian Waffle recipe

  • Make sure to warm up your waffle maker. Your Belgian waffles will come out flat and light in color if you pour the batter onto the waffle iron before it has reached the proper temperature.
  • Just before pouring the batter inside, coat with non-stick cooking spray. This will make it more likely that the cooking spray will cover the entire iron and not collect in specific areas after being sprayed and left to sit until the batter is done.
  • In all of my recipes that call for vanilla extract, I like to use this vanilla bean paste. It gains more vanilla flavor from the paste without losing its consistency.

Best toppings for a Belgian waffle recipe

Whipping cream: I feel like I don’t even need to describe whipped cream. Whipping cream makes everything taste much better. You can’t go wrong whether it’s straight out of the can or freshly whipped.

Butter: When butter melts into little butter pools in each valley of your handmade Belgian waffles, it makes everything better. DROOLING.

Fresh Fruit: Adding some fruit to your breakfast qualifies it as “balanced” and makes it rather appetizing. I adore adding berries or bananas to these airy Belgian waffles!

Pure maple syrup is a must-have for the best Belgian waffle breakfast, in my opinion. You may reheat it in the microwave if you’re feeling very upscale, giving the impression that you’re dining at the Ritz.

Fried Chicken Okay, so this one could come out as a little eccentric, but chicken and waffles are the greatest. Who said you couldn’t have waffles for supper, though? You may complete the dinner by adding some crispy fried chicken and a sprinkle of maple syrup.

9. Red Velvet Belgian Waffle Recipe

These red velvet Belgian waffle recipes are the ideal breakfast food for a special day since they are sweet and delicious. They go perfectly with Valentine’s Day or Christmas, but after you’ve made them, you might want to make them all year long. A sprinkling of creamy frosting complements their robust chocolate taste nicely.

We were inspired by the fact that red velvet has historically been chocolate-flavored. These waffles contain both bittersweet chocolate chips and dark cocoa to ensure that the chocolate flavor comes through. There aren’t many alternatives for the red food coloring, but you can omit it if the color red isn’t crucial to you.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • four teaspoons of baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • two large eggs, beaten
  • 2 1/4 cups of milk
  • 3/4 cup (12 tablespoons) butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
  • Red food coloring, optional

For the Cream Cheese Icing

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • one tablespoon of milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • Whipped cream and berries for garnish

Method

  1. In a large basin, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Next, put it away.
  2. In a little dish that is microwave-safe, melt the chocolate. When it is entirely smooth and melted, stir it once every thirty seconds—cool a little.
  3. Melted chocolate, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract are all combined in a bowl. As you add the red food coloring, whisk until the appropriate redness is achieved.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ones very gently. While lumpiness in the batter is OK, watch out for significant pockets of flour. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl’s sides thoroughly. More red food coloring can be added to make the mixture darker or redder.
  5. Pour the batter into the waffle iron after preheating it. Cook your waffles until they are crisp. When you’re ready to dish and serve them, take them out of the iron and keep them warm in a 200°F oven.
  6. Make the cream cheese frosting while the waffles are baking.
  7. The icing ingredients should be thoroughly smooth after being combined.
  8. Waffles should be covered in icing, then topped with whipped cream and berries. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour
  • ¼ Cup Cornstarch

  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

  • 2 tbsp Light Brown Sugar – packed
  • two large eggs – separated
  • one ¼ Cup Buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Method

  1. Waffle iron and oven should both be preheated. For warm waffles, preheat the oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. A big baking sheet should have a wire rack insert in it.
  2. Prepare the dry ingredients for waffles: Combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium mixing basin. Together, stir.
  3. Make the wet ingredients for the waffles: Combine the egg yolks, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract in a separate, large mixing bowl. Completely integrate by whisking.
  4. Apples should be added to the wet components after being combined with the sugar in a separate bowl. To the wet ingredients, add apples. Stir gently to mix.
  5. Make a tiny well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the yolk mixture within until JUST mixed; stir.
  6. Egg whites should be beaten: In a separate small dish, beat egg whites until frothy. Beat at a high pace until peaks of stiffness appear. To the waffle batter, add the egg whites. Avoid overmixing by gently folding the egg whites until they are barely blended.
  7. Making waffles: With care to avoid overfilling, pour approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup batter for each waffle onto the hot waffle iron—Cook as directed by the waffle iron’s maker. While you continue with the remaining batter, transfer the cooked waffles to a wire rack and keep them warm in the oven.

11. Orange Juice Belgian Waffles Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup arrowroot or cornstarch
  • three tablespoons of sugar
  • four teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • two large eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola oil, preferably organic
  • one teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 2 cups 100% orange juice

Method

  1. Waffle maker should be heated as directed by the manufacturer.
  2. In a medium basin, combine the flour, arrowroot or cornstarch, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Combine the eggs, oil, vanilla paste, orange zest, and 100% orange juice in a separate basin. With a wire whisk, thoroughly mix. The mixture should be added and mixed with the flour mixture using a wire whisk. Allow thickening for two to three minutes.
  4. According to the manufacturer’s directions, pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto a hot, oiled griddle and cook the waffle until it is done. Use the leftover batter to repeat.
  5. Serve right away.

Due to the use of 100% orange juice and orange zest, these waffles overflow with orange flavor. Use more starch such as arrowroot or corn starch to give the waffle a good crunch; no one wants soggy waffles, so using extra starch will help keep them that way.

12. Lemon Belgian Waffle Recipe with Blueberry Syrup

Waffles that are supple and soft and have a lovely lemon taste. They go wonderfully together with the delicious blueberry syrup that serves as the final touch.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp applesauce
  • two large eggs, separated
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Blueberry Syrup

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp corn-starch
  • 1 cup of cold water
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

Method

  1. Get a Belgian waffle maker ready. A mixing basin should combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Buttermilk, milk, vegetable oil, applesauce, two egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, and zest should all be combined in a separate, big mixing dish.
  2. Two egg whites should be whisked with an electric hand mixer in a small bowl until soft peaks form.
  3. Whisking constantly, gradually add the flour mixture to the buttermilk mixture, and whisk just until combined (the batter should still have some lumps). Just until combined, carefully fold egg whites into the batter using a rubber spatula.
  4. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to fry the batter on the waffle iron until golden. Lift the lid slowly when taking the waffle from the iron to prevent splitting.
  5. Serve warm with butter and powdered sugar, blueberry syrup, vanilla cream syrup, maple syrup, or another flavoring.
  6. Add 3 tbsp of poppy seeds to the flour mixture and proceed as recommended for the lemon poppy seed variation. I advise serving them with vanilla cream syrup, but you can also make the lemon vanilla cream syrup by adding a little lemon juice and lemon zest.

Blueberry Syrup

  1. In a medium saucepan, mix cornstarch and sugar. Water, blueberries, and lemon juice are then stirred in. Stirring continuously, cook the mixture over medium-high heat until it boils.
  2. When the mixture comes to a boil, turn the heat down to medium-low and let it gently simmer for one minute while stirring continuously. Pour syrup into a blender, cover, and process for approximately a minute on low speed or until completely pureed.
  3. Alternatively, press the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl if you don’t want the skins and seeds. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to a week and makes excellent blueberry lemonade if you have any leftovers. Simply flavor sparkling water with lemon juice and cool blueberry syrup.
