Why I Like this Recipe

I love this recipe for so many reasons. First, i really like how its super easy to follow and makes you feel like a pro in the kitchen even if you’re not. I mean, mixing club soda with the waffle mix really makes the batter extra light and fluffy which makes these waffles taste awesome.

Another reason i like it is that the topped salted, maple, whipped butter is like the perfect mix of sweet and salty. It makes every bite special and gives that comforting flavor i look for in a good waffle.

Also, i appreciate that you can change up some of the ingredients, like using different oils, so it feels flexible to my taste and what’s in my pantry. This means i can tweak the recipe a bit if im in a hurry or if i just dont have everything on hand.

Finally, the whole process feels fun and rewarding. Even though it seems a bit imperfect sometimes, it always reminds me of making memories with family. I guess i just love that it turns a simple breakfast into something really special.

Ingredients

• Club soda: Carbonated water that adds airy texture but offers hardly any nutrition.
• Waffle mix: Mainly carbohydrates that power your day and gives great structure.
• Oil: Provides fats which help make the waffles crispy and tender at the same time.
• Eggs: A solid protein source that binds all ingredients together and boosts flavor.
• Butter: When whipped, it makes a smooth, rich spread full of creamy taste.
• Maple syrup: Brings natural sweetness and a hint of warm flavor to the mix.
• Sea salt: Just a pinch to enhance all the flavors without overpowering them.

Ingredient Quantities

• 2 cups club soda (or sparkling water/any carbonated drink)
• 2 cups Original or GF Heavenly Waffle Mix
• 3 Tbsp oil (you can use coconut, melted butter, ghee, vegetable or canola)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for whipping)
• 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
• Pinch of sea salt (to taste)

How to Make this

1. Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high while you get everything ready.

2. In a big bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of club soda, 2 eggs, and 3 tablespoons of your chosen oil until it gets a little frothy.

3. Add the 2 cups of heavenly waffle mix to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until they’re just combined, try not to overmix or it might get tough.

4. Pour the batter into your preheated waffle iron, being careful not to overfill it so the batter can spread nicely.

5. Cook the waffles until they’re golden on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This usually takes a few minutes depending on your machine.

6. While your waffles are cooking, in another bowl, whip the 1/2 cup unsalted butter that’s softened with 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup and a pinch of sea salt.

7. Beat them together until the mixture turns light and fluffy, but be careful not to beat them too long.

8. Once the waffles are done, transfer them to a plate.

9. Top each waffle generously with your salted, maple, whipped butter and serve warm. Enjoy!

FAQ

Pumpkin Chai Heavenly Waffles With Salted, Maple, Whipped Butter Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Club soda: You can swap it for any carbonated water like seltzer or even a light ginger ale if you’re feeling adventurous.
• Heavenly Waffle Mix: If you dont have this one, try using regular pancake mix or even making your own blend with flour, baking powder, a bit of salt and sugar.
• Oil: You can simply use melted butter or coconut oil; both work great and add a different flavor profile.
• Eggs: For a vegan twist, mix 1 Tbsp of ground flaxseed with 3 Tbsp water to substitute for each egg.
• Unsalted butter (for whipping): Instead of butter, you might try a dollop of vegan butter or even well-chilled coconut cream whipped up until fluffy.

Pro Tips

1. Make sure your waffle iron is fully heated before you pour any batter in so the waffles cook evenly, because if it’s not hot enough you could end up with soggy waffles.
2. Be super careful when mixing the dry and wet ingredients—stir just until they come together. Overmixing can make the waffles kinda tough.
3. When whipping the butter, keep an eye on it so it doesn’t get overbeaten; you want it light but not soupy.
4. If you’re using club soda or any carbonated drink in your batter, don’t let it sit around too long after you mix everything because it might lose its fizz and the waffles won’t be as airy.
