Coconut Lime Waffles

A refreshing twist on traditional waffles, infused with the tropical flavors of coconut and lime.

The Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, milk, shredded coconut, lime juice, and melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should still be slightly lumpy.
  5. Cook the waffles according to your iron's instructions. Typically 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Serve the waffles hot with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut.

Variations

  • Add some toasted coconut flakes on top of the waffles for an extra crunch and flavor boost.
  • Replace the lime juice with lemon juice for a slightly different twist.
  • Make these waffles ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Simply reheat them in the toaster or microwave before serving.

Tips

  • Use fresh and high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough waffles.
  • Experiment with different flavors by adding extracts like vanilla or almond to the batter.
