I have a bit of an obsession with having aaaaall the kitchen gadgets and small appliances. However, one thing I had never owned until recently, was a waffle maker. I knew the Thermomix would whip up the batter for waffles in no time.
Upon hearing we NEEDED a waffle maker, my lovely Mother-in-law thought it was time to rectify that. She bought us one for Christmas last year (YAY!)
The creation of Bexta Thermomix waffles
Of course being gifted a waffle maker meant I had to come up with my own waffle batter recipe. After an initial fairly successful try, I did a bit of tweaking and was soon getting frequent requests from my kids to make them.
I’ve been wanting to blog the recipe for months but the waffles always disappear too fast for me to get a photo. Until today… I decided to make them AFTER breakfast when the kids’ bellies were full and.. photo success!
Lovely and light on the inside and just the right amount of sweetness, these should disappear fast in your house too.
Made from kitchen staples
There aren’t too many ingredients needed to make these waffles, just a handful of things you probably already have on hand.
Here’s what you’ll need (scroll down to the recipe card for the full recipe)
Milk (see recipe card below for making vegan)
Honey (or sugar)
Light tasting oil
Eggs (see recipe card below for making vegan)
Vanilla extract
Flour – spelt, or plain, or gluten free all work well
Cornflour
Baking powder
Topping suggestions
I serve waffles the same as I do pancakes and pikelets. A sweet topping is a must. Here are a few ideas for you:
Maple syrup
Sometimes some fresh fruit – blueberries, chopped strawberries, sliced banana.
Maybe a little cream!
Feeling like savoury Thermomix waffles?
If it’s savoury Thermomix waffles you’re after, give these Cauliflower Cheese Waffles a try instead. They’re very popular and so very good!
What to do if you don’t have a waffle maker
If you don’t have a waffle maker then unfortunately you can’t make homemade waffles. If you’re keen to make some, though and would like to get a waffle maker, this is the one I recommend. I really like it, it cooks nice and evenly and at a pretty good speed.

These waffles are delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside . Wondering if this batter can be made the nught before?
I bought the waffle maker to make these waffles, they are the best waffles I’ve eaten!
But how much batter for this machine should I use? The booklet said 2 cups but that overflowed.. what do you recommend?
The absolute best Waffle recipe and I also use this recipe for Pancakes too. Amazing!
Thanks, Ainsley! So good to know the mix makes great pancakes too, I’ll have to give that a go!
Thank you for this great recipe. I recently acquired a waffle maker and have tried various recipes but like this on the best. I served topped with maple syrup and berries with yoghurt on top. Delicious!
Thank you for the great feedback, Susie! In case you haven’t discovered them, the Cauliflower Cheese Savoury Waffles here (https://www.thermobexta.com.au/2018/10/15/thermobextas-cauliflower-cheese-waffles/) are also really popular and very good if you’d like a savoury option. Bec
For low carb I use almond flour and a little tapioca plus bicarb soda. Almond milk works well. Don’t need any sweetener or could add a bit if erythritol. Serve with berries cream and sugarfree maple syrup
Has anyone tried Egg Free AND Gluten Free and been happy ?
I just made these with gf plain flour and substituted 50g for a delicious lemon cheesecake protein powder we have. I also left out the sugar. So good.
These are great, so simple. Cooked up perfectly.
I made these with gluten free S/R flour, omitted the baking powder and used almond milk.
Don’t have a waffle maker? Don’t worry! You can use a jaffle maker for perfectly fluffy pillows of waffle flavoured goodness! They have a lovely, crispy underside and a smooth top. If you find the top too pale, flip them over for a minute and they will be perfect. This recipe captures the true taste of beautiful waffles, without being overly heavy on the sugar. My kids ate these plain, there is absolutely no need for topping, though my husband assures me that a dash of maple syrup makes these the bomb.
These waffles are delicious ? Perfect for Sunday Brunch!
