Admittedly, I would consider myself to be a chocoholic and a sugar addict so these waffles check all the boxes for me. The waffles are sturdy and crisp on the outside, but when you cut into them you’ll be surprised to find a light and fluffy interior. I had the idea to make these waffles after reminiscing about my study abroad in Italy. I lived in a small apartment in Florence studying architecture and I fell in love with the city as much as I did it’s food. One of my favorite sweet treats (besides gelato) was a Belgian waffle with Nutella. The smell was enough to sell me and every bite was magical. I tried to recreate that experience with these waffles and I hope they bring you as much joy as they bring me!
Ingredients for Belgian Waffles with Nutella and Raspberries
- cake flour – contains less protein than all-purpose flour, which means there is less gluten formation in the batter. Cake flour provides a softer, fluffier texture in the Belgian waffles. If you don’t have cake flour on hand, don’t fret! You can easily make cake flour with 2 ingredients you probably already have on hand: all-purpose flour and cornstarch. For this recipe, combine 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour with 4 tablespoons cornstarch. Sift the mixture TWICE to lighten the flour and the result will be more reminiscent of cake flour.
- granulated sugar
- baking powder
- salt
- ground cinnamon
- eggs
- avocado oil – any neutral oil like grapeseed oil, canola oil or vegetable. oil.
- milk
- vanilla extract
- Nutella
- raspberry preserves – I highly recommend grabbing a jar of these raspberry preserves. You can find it in almost any grocery store.
- fresh raspberries
- maple syrup – optional.
- fresh whipped cream – optional.
Here’s what else you’ll need:
- 3 medium mixing bowls
- electric hand mixer
- whisk
- rubber spatula
- waffle iron
- measuring cups and spoons
How to Make Belgian Waffles with Nutella and Raspberries
- Whisk together all of the dry ingredients. Set aside.
