Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1 3/4 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or cardamom
  • For the Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
  • Mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings
  • Maple syrup or honey
  • Chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your heart-shaped waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly spray with nonstick spray or brush with melted butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon or cardamom.
  3. Separate eggs; place yolks in a medium bowl and whites in another. To the yolks, add milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip egg whites on medium-high until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Pour the yolk-milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon—do not overmix.
  6. Add about 1/3 of the beaten egg whites to the batter and gently fold to lighten. Fold in the rest until just combined.
  7. Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter into the center of the hot waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and steam slows.
  8. Use a silicone spatula to gently lift the waffle. Transfer to a cooling rack if making batches.
  9. In a clean bowl, whip cold cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla on medium-high until soft peaks form.
  10. Serve warm waffles topped with whipped cream and desired toppings. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, substitute almond or oat milk and coconut oil for butter. Batter can be made ahead (without egg whites) and refrigerated overnight. Whipped cream is best made fresh. Don’t overmix batter for fluffiest waffles. Keep cooked waffles warm in a low oven on a rack.
