I use malted milk powder in these homemade waffles. The malted milk powder lends a creamy and nostalgic flavor to these organic waffles! Serve up these homemade Malted Milk Waffles with my Homemade Pork Breakfast Sausage for a delicious breakfast or brunch!

I love making homemade waffles because whenever I make them, I freeze half of them so that we can have waffles easily anytime. Homemade Malted Milk Waffles are amazing to freeze as they stay so fresh in the freezer. All you have to do is pull one out and pop in the toaster or air fryer!

Ingredients

  • Butter: I use Organic Valley Salted Butter, you can use your favorite.
  • Milk: Use whole milk for the best flavor. I prefer to use organic and grassfed for the nutritional value.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream: I use Organic Valley Heavy Whipping Cream, which gives these homemade waffles a richer flavor.
  • All Purpose Flour: My favorite is Cairnspring Mills.
  • Cane Sugar: I use organic cane sugar, which is less processed than granulated white sugar.
  • Eggs: Use large eggs.
  • Malt Powder: While there's no organic malt powder on the market yet, I use King Arthur's as I think it's the best option.
  • Baking Powder: Use baking powder, not soda for fluffy waffles.
  • Salt: Use fine sea salt.
  • Vanilla Extract: Use a high quality vanilla extract, not imitation.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add in the melted butter, milk, heavy whipping cream, eggs, and vanilla extract and whisk until a smooth batter forms.

Step 3

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 (if you have a smaller iron, you’ll have to do less or if you want to fill the entire iron do 1 cup). Cook until golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.

Tips

  • This is pretty much dump all ingredients into a bowl and mix kind of recipe! Just be sure that you mix together your dry ingredients, even if the others get out of order, it’s no big deal here!
  • I use my Cuisinart Belgian Waffle Iron and I use a ½ cup to measure batter in. This does not fill the waffle iron completely, as I made these on the smaller side (so I could eat more, haha). If you want to fill the whole iron, use 1 cup of batter and you’ll get a thicker waffle as well.
  • This recipe makes 7 round waffles using the ½ cup measurement. In the photos, I broke up that round waffle into triangles, so it seems like a lot! This is a great recipe to serve a crowd!
  • I don’t grease my waffle iron, as this Cuisinart Belgian Waffle Iron really doesn’t need it! If you are using a different type of waffle iron or you know yours needs grease, then definitely add it.
  • Store extra waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or you can store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat waffles from the freezer just pop into your toaster or air fryer until warm and crispy!

FAQ's

Can I make these gluten free?

No, unfortunately, malt powder is not gluten free so it's not possible to make these gluten free.

Try my Homemade Pork Breakfast Sausages, Maple Turkey Breakfast Sausages, or Everything Bagel Turkey Breakfast Sausages. I also love serving these with bacon, eggs, and fresh fruit.

Can I freeze homemade waffles?

Yes! You can easily freeze these homemade waffles by placing them in a freezer safe airtight container (tupperware or zip bag). You can pop them in the toaster or air fryer directly from the freezer to easily reheat them.
