These crispy churro waffles with a luscious dulce de leche drizzle offer a sweet, crunchy breakfast or dessert treat that’s quick and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups (420ml) whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cinnamon sugar coating: 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar mixed with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup (180g) dulce de leche (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour about 3/4 cup (180ml) of batter per waffle onto the iron and close the lid.
  6. Cook for 4–5 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  7. While waffles are still warm, immediately toss or sprinkle them with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  8. Warm the dulce de leche to a pourable consistency and drizzle generously over the waffles.
  9. Serve immediately, optionally adding a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Notes

Keep waffle iron clean and lightly greased for crispier waffles. Apply cinnamon sugar coating while waffles are hot to ensure it sticks. Do not overmix batter to keep waffles light and tender. Warm dulce de leche before drizzling for best texture and presentation. Store cooked waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in toaster oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
