These zebra waffles turn an ordinary breakfast into a showstopper. Swirls of vanilla and cocoa batter create a striking striped pattern, while the waffles themselves stay crisp outside and fluffy inside. Fun to make and even more fun to eat, they’re a guaranteed hit with kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 100 g (1/2 cup) sugar
- 100 g (7 tbsp) butter, melted
- 150 ml (2/3 cup) milk
- 250 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 packet (about 8 g) vanilla sugar or 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs with the sugar, then stir in the milk and melted butter.
- Sift in the flour with the baking powder and mix into a smooth batter.
- Divide the batter into two bowls: stir the vanilla into one and the cocoa into the other.
- Spoon a little of each batter onto the hot waffle iron to create the zebra pattern, and cook until golden.
Tips
- Grease the waffle iron well before each batch so the delicate zebra pattern releases cleanly. For more waffle inspiration, browse Allrecipes.
