How To Make Grinch Waffles
Step 1 – Make The Grinch Waffle Batter
In a medium bowl, mix together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar.
Stir in the wet ingredients (milk, vegetable oil, and egg) and whisk to combine until your batter is smooth.
Step 2 – Color The Batter Green
Add a few drops of green food coloring to the batter and whisk. Add more, if necessary, until you reach your desired shade of green.
Step 3 – Cook Waffles
Preheat a waffle maker and brush the surface with a little bit of vegetable oil. Pour about 1/3 cup batter per waffle.
Cook the waffle until crispy for about 3-4 minutes or follow your waffle maker cooking instruction.
Cool the waffles on a cooling rack to prevent them from being soggy.
Step 4 – Add Favorite Toppings And Serve
Serve your Grinch waffles with whipped cream and red sprinkles, powdered sugar, or strawberry sauce. Enjoy!
Grinch Waffles Variations To Try
