Making Nutella waffles at home is a fantastic way to start your day with a sweet treat that everyone will love. Whether you're planning a special breakfast or just craving something indulgent, these waffles are easy to whip up and sure to satisfy. The combination of fluffy waffles and rich Nutella makes this recipe a winner, perfect for kids and adults alike. Plus, the recipe is straightforward enough that even beginner cooks can master it without any trouble.
One of the best things about making Nutella waffles is the endless possibilities for customization. You can keep it simple by just using Nutella as the filling, or get creative by adding fresh fruit, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top. The waffles themselves are light and airy, providing the perfect base for the creamy Nutella center. This recipe also allows for some flexibility in the type of fat you use, whether it’s oil or melted butter, so you can adjust it to suit your taste or dietary needs.
Before you get started, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and your waffle maker ready to go. Having everything organized will make the process smooth and enjoyable. Now, let’s dive into making these delicious Nutella-filled waffles!
Ingredients
Dough
- 2 eggs
- 110 grams granulated sugar (0.55 cups)
- 250 ml whole-fat cow milk (8.45 floz)
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 300 grams all-purpose flour (2.4 cups)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Filling
- 150 grams Nutella
Instructions
1) First step, eggs
Start by cracking two eggs into a glass to check their quality before adding them to the batter. This step is crucial because using rotten eggs could spoil your batter. Once the eggs are verified, transfer them to a mixing bowl and beat them with a whisk. Add the granulated sugar and whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
2) Second step, mix fast or you will have scrambled eggs
It's important to quickly mix the sugar with the eggs to avoid cooking them. The sugar can cause the eggs to cook slightly, leading to an undesirable texture in your waffles. After the sugar is well incorporated, add the oil. You can choose whichever fat you prefer, whether it's oil or melted butter, as either will work well in this recipe.
3) Third step, dry ingredients
Next, add the baking powder (or baking soda if you prefer) to the wet ingredients. Then, sift the all-purpose flour into the mixture using a flour sifter. Sifting the flour helps to remove any lumps and ensures a smooth, even batter.
4) Fourth step, mix
Begin incorporating the milk into the mixture slowly, mixing continuously with a whisk. The goal is to achieve a smooth batter without any lumps. If you do end up with a few lumps, don’t worry—you can always blend the batter to smooth it out.
5) Fifth step, bake
Now that your batter is ready, preheat your waffle maker and grease it lightly with butter or oil using a brush or paper towel. Pour some batter into the waffle maker, spreading it evenly in the middle. Add a generous spoonful of Nutella on top, then cover it with more batter. Close the waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Be careful not to overfill the waffle maker to avoid spilling.
Enjoy your homemade Nutella waffles while they’re still warm, and feel free to add your favorite toppings for an extra touch of sweetness!
