Y’all, I have discovered the perfect waffle recipe.

It is light and fluffy and healthy and oh-so-full of flavor. Don’t worry, I’m not keeping it to myself. I knew as soon as I tasted these the first time that I had to share. Everyone needs these cinnamon raisin waffles.

Everyone. I have made them twice just this week.

I have loved waffles since I was a kid. I remember most Saturday mornings, my mom would make a double batch and me and my siblings would slather them in butter and syrup before running off to watch cartoons. Waffles and Smurfs. And Alvin and the Chipmunks. Fraggle Rock. Okay, back to breakfast.

These waffles are easy. They’re a variation on my whole-grain waffle recipe. Of course, you can change up the kind of flour, sugar, etc. that you use to meet your allergy/diet needs.

Make a batch of homemade cinnamon raisin waffles for a deliciously cozy breakfast that kids and adults will enjoy.

How to make cinnamon raisin waffles

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup melted butter or oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins

Instructions

1. Mix the waffle batter.

Combine the dry ingredients (flour, cinnamon, baking powder, sugar) in a mixing bowl. Combine the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, oil, vanilla) in a different bowl or a big measuring cup. Pour the wet into the dry and whisk just until combined.

Don’t add the raisins to the batter. The first time I made these, I just tossed them into the bowl. Naturally, they all sank to the bottom. Just sprinkle a handful on top of each batch right after you pour it in the waffle iron and they will be perfect. No need to measure each batch.

2. Bake the waffles.

Bake the waffles in your waffle iron according to its directions. My waffle iron holds about a cup of batter.

Scoop the batter onto the waffle iron, add a sprinkle of raisins. Then close the lid and cook until done. Mine is ready when the light goes out.

3. Repeat for each batch.

Remove the waffle from the iron and pour on another scoop. Repeat until all of the batter has been baked. This recipe makes five 4-part waffles in my waffle iron. Serve them right away, with or without toppings.

These will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat by toasting.

My kids don’t do Saturday morning cartoons like I did. When you can watch whatever you want on Netflix any old time, it isn’t quite the same. Still, I have to appreciate the ability to watch MY cartoons any time too.

I really love these cinnamon raisin waffles, even if they aren’t quite what my mom used to make. What breakfast food reminds you of childhood?
