Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Shallow dish
  • Waffle Maker
  • Tongs
  • Pastry brush
  • Measuring cup
  • Measuring spoon
  • whisk

Ingredients

Waffles

  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 3 eggs
  • 5 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • Dulce de leche
  • Chocolate sauce
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  • Plug in your waffle maker and turn it on to preheat.
  • Add the buttermilk, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla to a large bowl and whisk together.
    2 cups buttermilk, 3 eggs, 5 tablespoon melted coconut oil, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Add the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, salt, and ½ tsp of cinnamon to the bowl and whisk to make a smooth batter. A few small lumps are okay.
    2 cups flour, 2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Let the batter sit for 10 minutes. This will let the flour absorb some of the liquid and make the batter nice and thick.
  • While the batter is resting, stir the granulated sugar and tablespoon of cinnamon together in a separate shallow dish.
    1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • Scoop the batter into your hot waffle maker and cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's directions. Most Belgian waffle makers will take about 4-5 minutes to cook. The waffles will be golden brown and easily pull away from the waffle iron plates.
  • Remove the waffle from the waffle iron and brush both sides with the melted butter then dip the waffle in the bowl of cinnamon and sugar, coating both sides.
    4 tablespoons melted butter
  • Repeat cooking the remaining waffle batter, buttering the hot waffles, and dipping them all in cinnamon and sugar.
  • Drizzle the churro waffles with warm dulce de leche, chocolate sauce, or top with whipped cream. They are also delicious just with the cinnamon and sugar coating!

Notes

  • Place the buttered, sugared waffles on a baking tray lined with foil and keep them in a 200 degree F oven while you cook all of the batter. This will keep the cooked churro waffles warm while you make the whole batch. 
  • Cut the waffles into strips and serve with dipping sauces (chocolate sauce, caramel etc). Churro waffle sticks are a delicious dessert or breakfast!
