A waffle is a beloved breakfast staple originating from Europe, particularly associated with Belgian and Scandinavian cuisines. Made from a batter of flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and baking powder or yeast, waffles are cooked in a specialized waffle iron to create their signature grid pattern and fluffy texture. While traditional waffles contain simple carbohydrates and sugars, they can also provide a source of energy and essential nutrients like protein and calcium, especially when made with enriched flour or whole grains. Healthier versions can be prepared using whole wheat flour, reducing sugar, or incorporating nutrient-dense ingredients like oats or flaxseed. Typically served with syrup, butter, or toppings like fruit and yogurt, waffles offer versatility for both indulgent and balanced meals. However, moderation is key, as high-calorie toppings or overly processed mixes can reduce their overall nutritional value.
