Description
Sweet Corn Jalapeño Fritter Waffles are a delightful twist on traditional waffles, combining the sweetness of corn with a spicy kick from jalapeños. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3–4 ears of corn)
- 1–2 jalapeños, finely chopped (adjust based on spice preference)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Honey for drizzling (optional)
- Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing the waffle iron
Instructions
- Prepare the corn by cutting the kernels off the cob or using drained canned/frozen corn.
- Mix the dry ingredients: combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Combine the wet ingredients: beat the eggs and mix with milk in another bowl.
- Combine the mixtures: pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Add the mix-ins: fold in corn, jalapeños, and green onions into the batter.
- Preheat the waffle iron and grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Cook the waffles: pour batter onto the waffle iron and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: remove waffles, drizzle with honey if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend.
- Substitute almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- For a milder flavor, use bell peppers instead of jalapeños.
- Add cheese for extra flavor; cheddar or pepper jack works well.
