Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for gluten-free option)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cups (420ml) milk (whole milk preferred, almond or oat milk optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon sugar coating: 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar mixed with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Mexican chocolate dip:
  • 4 oz (115g) Mexican chocolate discs or chopped Mexican chocolate
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or sugar for sweetness

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron for about 5 minutes and lightly grease if needed.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish for the cinnamon sugar coating.
  6. Pour about 1/2 cup (120ml) batter per waffle onto the hot iron; cook 3–5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Immediately brush each waffle with melted butter and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.
  8. Keep coated waffles warm on a cooling rack over a baking sheet in a 200°F (90°C) oven while finishing the batch.
  9. To make the Mexican chocolate dip, combine chopped chocolate, heavy cream, cinnamon, cayenne, and vanilla in a small saucepan over low heat; stir constantly until smooth (3–5 minutes). Add honey or sugar if desired.
  10. Serve warm churro waffles with the chocolate dip for dunking.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine. Brush waffles with melted butter before cinnamon sugar coating for best crunch. Keep waffles warm on a rack in a low oven to maintain crispness. Rest batter for 5 minutes before cooking. Use authentic Mexican chocolate for best flavor in the dip. For vegan or gluten-free adaptations, substitute ingredients as noted.
