Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup oil

Additions & Toppings

  • Neon Green Food Coloring Gel (about 10 drops, plus more for desired color)
  • Red Heart Sprinkles
  • Reddi-whip Whipping Cream
  • Favorite syrup (such as maple syrup or fruit syrup)
  • Cooking spray (such as PAM)
  • Butter (for spreading on waffles while hot)

Instructions

  1. Beat the Eggs: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs until they become light lemon-colored and fluffy, approximately 1 minute.
  2. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the milk and oil to the beaten eggs and stir on low speed. Then, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar and blend on low until all ingredients are incorporated.
  3. Mix Batter and Add Color: Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and mix for another minute. The batter might have a few lumps, which is okay. Add about 10 drops of neon green food coloring gel and mix to blend, adding more drops until the preferred shade of green is achieved.
  4. Preheat and Prepare Waffle Iron: Heat the waffle iron to the desired temperature. Once hot, spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Using a half-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter into the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are done and golden, repeating until all the batter is used.
  6. Butter Waffles: Transfer the cooked waffles to a plate and spread butter on them while they are still hot to melt.
  7. Add Toppings and Serve: Top the waffles with your favorite syrup, a generous amount of whipped cream, and sprinkle red heart sprinkles on top. Serve immediately and enjoy your festive Grinch waffles.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can whisk the ingredients by hand until combined.
  • The neon green food coloring gel is key to achieving the vibrant Grinch color; add gradually to reach your desired hue.
  • Use a non-stick waffle iron or ensure adequate cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • You can customize toppings by adding fresh fruit or nuts if desired.
  • Waffles are best served fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven if preparing for a crowd.
