Pizza Waffles

makes 6-7 waffles

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pepperoni
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • marinara for serving

Preheat waffle iron. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder and whisk until blended. Add the cheeses and pepperoni and mix to coat with the flour mixture (this helps avoid clumping).

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and oil. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and whisk just until combined, taking care not to over mix.

Grease hot waffle iron. Pour about 1/2 cup batter into the waffle iron and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until waffles are golden and cheese is melted. Repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve with warm marinara sauce.
