These yeast waffles are one of those breakfasts that feel a little extra special, but are actually so simple to put together. Light, airy on the inside, crisp on the outside, and made with whole wheat flour — they’re clean, wholesome and honestly so satisfying.

I love that you can make the batter the night before or in the morning and let it rest. And once cooked, they freeze beautifully too. Perfect for slow mornings or a relaxed brunch.

What You’ll Need

2 cups whole wheat flour
1½ cups warm milk
2 eggs
¼ cup melted butter
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt

How I Made It

Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In warm milk, add sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it turns slightly frothy.

Step 2: Mix the Batter
Add eggs, melted butter and vanilla to the yeast mixture. Mix well.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients
Add whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt. Mix into a smooth batter (slightly thick but pourable).

Step 4: Rest the Batter
Cover and let it rest for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the fridge for best flavour).

Step 5: Cook the Waffles
Heat your waffle maker, grease lightly and pour the batter. Cook until golden, crisp and cooked through.

How I Served It

Stacked them warm and topped with:

Maple syrup
Honey
Nutella
Fresh strawberries
Banana slices
Nuts & seeds

So simple, so wholesome, and so good 🤍

Tips

Overnight batter = better flavour and texture
Don’t skip resting — yeast needs time to work
Whole wheat gives a nice nutty taste
Freeze extras and just toast when needed

These yeast waffles are soft, crisp, and just the kind of breakfast that feels nourishing and comforting at the same time. Easy, flexible, and perfect for making ahead — definitely one to keep on repeat.
