Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups fresh broccoli, chopped into small, bite-sized pieces
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour (level it off for accuracy)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (packed loosely, not heaping)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1.25 cups milk (whole or 2%, room temperature works best)
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
  • Instructions

  • Start by heating your waffle iron to medium-high. Make sure it is hot and ready by the time your batter is mixed for crisp waffles.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly blended.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together, then stir in the melted butter. Let this mixture sit for a minute to come to room temperature.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped broccoli, and optional green onions. The batter will be thick.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to activate the baking powder and hydrate the flour for fluffier waffles.
  • Lightly grease your waffle iron with butter or non-stick spray. Scoop ½ to ¾ cup of batter onto the iron, close the lid gently, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Watch for steam to slow down as a doneness signal.
  • Carefully remove the waffle and place on a wire rack or plate. Avoid stacking waffles directly to prevent sogginess.
  • Cook remaining batter the same way, greasing the iron as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Notes

    Quick and flavorful broccoli cheese waffles that combine cheesy comfort with sneaky greens, perfect for breakfast or brunch. Crispy outside with tender, cheesy goodness inside, these waffles are packed with fresh broccoli and sharp cheddar in an easy-to-make batter.
