Sweet and Savory Cornbread Waffle Bites
Bite-sized cornbread waffles that combine sweet and savory flavors, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Quick to make and versatile enough to serve as a snack, breakfast, or alongside dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar or to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk for extra richness
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- chopped herbs, jalapeños, or cheese optional, for a savory twist
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker to ensure your waffle bites are crispy and delicious.
- Mix the dry ingredients by whisking together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl until combined.
- Combine the wet ingredients by beating the eggs in another bowl, then add in the milk and melted butter and mix well until everything is combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined—lumps are okay and don't overmix.
- If you'd like to add any optional ingredients such as cheese or herbs, gently fold them in now.
- Carefully ladle the batter into your preheated waffle maker, usually about 1/4 to 1/2 cup per batch, and cook until golden brown, typically around 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from the waffle maker and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
