Ingredients
- Biscoff cookies: Crushed into the batter for an unmistakable caramel spice and pleasant crunch Select the original Lotus Biscoff for best results
- Ground cinnamon: Adds warm bakery flavor that complements the cookies Freshly ground is most fragrant
- Nutella: Creamy chocolate hazelnut spread brings sweet richness to every bite Use a new jar for the easiest drizzle
- Fresh strawberries: Juicy and slightly tart to balance the sweetness Choose ripe red berries without bruises
- All-purpose flour: Makes up the structure of the waffle Go for unbleached flour for better taste
- Eggs: Essential for binding and richness Fresh eggs lead to fluffier waffles
- Milk: Helps blend the batter smoothly Any dairy or plant-based milk works
- Baking powder: Lifts and lightens the waffles for a crisp outside Use a fresh tin for best results
- Sugar: Sweetens the batter so every bite is delicious White sugar dissolves easily
- Vanilla extract: Brings warmth and rounds out the flavors Use pure vanilla for a deeper taste
- Butter: Adds moisture and helps crisp the waffle Melt and slightly cool before mixing in
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl mix flour sugar cinnamon and baking powder thoroughly This ensures the cinnamon gets evenly throughout the batter and gives the waffles a tender crumb
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl whisk eggs milk vanilla and melted butter together Beat until completely smooth so every bite will feel rich and light
- Combine Wet and Dry:
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir together Stop as soon as you no longer see dry flour It is okay if a few lumps remain as this keeps your waffles fluffy not tough
- Fold In Biscoff Cookies:
- Gently fold the crushed Biscoff cookies into the mixed batter Use a soft hand here to keep the cookies in small chunks for flavor and texture
- Cook Waffles:
- Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions If needed lightly brush with melted butter Pour batter onto the iron and close Cook until golden crisp with aromatic cinnamon filling your kitchen This usually takes about four to five minutes Adjust cook time for your preferred doneness
- Finish and Serve:
- Remove waffles carefully and plate right away While still warm drizzle Nutella liberally over the top letting it melt into every waffle pocket Arrange sliced strawberries on top for color and freshness For extra flair dust with powdered sugar or add a cloud of whipped cream

Every time I use Biscoff cookies in a recipe I think of tea breaks with my grandmother who always shared her favorite caramel cookies with me Now adding them to waffles is my way of holding on to those sweet memories and sharing new ones
Storage Tips
Cooled waffles freeze well in zip top bags and stay fresh for up to two months Reheat in a toaster or warm oven to restore their crisp texture Strawberries and Nutella are best added fresh each time Avoid storing waffles with toppings or they lose their crunch
Ingredient Substitutions
If you do not have Biscoff cookies try Speculoos or another caramel spice cookie Dairy can be swapped for almond or oat milk and melted coconut oil makes a fun trade for butter For vegan waffles use flax eggs and plant milk

Serving Suggestions
Biscoff Cinnamon Waffles are amazing for breakfast but also shine as dessert Try them with a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt and extra Biscoff crumbles If making a big brunch plate add crisp bacon and a cinnamon latte for complete flavor harmony
Cultural Context
