With Christmas just two days away, you may be planning your Christmas brunch menu. My mom always had coffee cake, quiche, cinnamon rolls, eggs, waffles, fruit and maybe more. Christmas was out of control at my house a child – and it was the best.

I will probably be making my Cinnamon Pecan Babka Coffee Cake, because I have finally perfected the coffee cake from my childhood and it’s this. I highly recommend adding it to your brunch menu! But, we made these Eggless Sourdough Waffles the other day, and they are also amazing.

Ingredients

Tools Needed

  • Scale: Always use a digital food scale for the best results.
  • Mixing Bowl: I use a large mixing bowl to mix up the batter.
  • Whisk: You'll want a whisk to mix up the batter so it's nice and smooth.
  • Waffle Iron: And, of course, you'll need a waffle iron to make these waffles! I use a square waffle iron and just put the batter in the middle for round, rustic looking waffles.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, add the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon and whisk together.

Add the milk and sourdough discard into a small bowl and mix together. Add in the melted butter, milk mixture, and vanilla extract. Whisk together to combine until you have a smooth batter.

Step 2

Allow waffle iron to get warm, I cooked these on setting 4 on my waffle iron that I linked above. But, medium on any iron will do! Measure ½ cup of batter into the waffle iron as I only let these fill the middle portion of my iron (if you have a smaller iron, may have to do less). Cook until golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.

Step 3

Serve with butter, maple syrup, or whipped cream and fresh fruit.

Baker's Tips

  • You can melt the butter over the stovetop or in the microwave, however you prefer.
  • You can use your sourdough discard directly from the fridge.
  • I like to mix in the sourdough discard with the milk first as this helps to combine it completely in the batter.
  • I use a half cup for measuring the batter into the middle of the waffle iron. If you want larger waffles, you can use more and fill the whole iron.
  • Store extra waffles in the fridge or in the freezer. You can re-heat in your toaster oven, air fryer, or toaster.

FAQ's

Can I make waffles ahead of time?

Yes, absolutely! You can prep waffles anytime and then freeze them. You can reheat waffles in the toaster or toaster oven, and they taste amazing!

Can I freeze homemade waffles?

Yes, you can absolutely freeze waffles. I put them in a Tupperware in the freezer. But a zip bag will also work!

What toppings can I add to sourdough waffles?

Sourdough waffles are amazing with butter and maple syrup, just like traditional waffles. We also have had some of my Brown Butter Butterscotch Sauce around and we’ve been using that as a dipping sauce, it’s amazing! You can also drizzle with Homemade Caramel Sauce, Homemade Whipped Cream, Chocolate Ganache, fresh fruit such as bananas, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and more!

    These were delicious! I didn’t have eggs so I tried these on a whim and the whole family loved them. The only thing I changed was adding a little more sugar cause we’re weird and don’t top with syrup so i like the batter a little sweeter.
