Belgian Speculoos Waffles

May 10, 2016 by Sarah / Maison Cupcake

Make these Belgian speculoos waffles with banana and chocolate for a fun weekend breakfast or dessert – ready in under ten minutes and depending what you top them with, a gluten free recipe too. You’ll find a printable recipe sheet below as well as this week’s #BAKEoftheWEEK round up.

I found a supply of Dove’s Flour gluten free self raising flour in my baking drawer recently. I won’t embarrass myself admitting the best before date but suffice to say I immediately labelled all my flours with stickers on the tops so I could look down in the drawer and see them stood in rows according to dates on the packs.

So I can predict with some accuracy that our meals will soon heavily feature gram flour and it also explains why I’ve blogged several recipes in a row using gluten free flour. I don’t consider myself to be gluten intolerant but happy to use a range of flours and grains. Gluten free flour in waffles seems to behave exactly as standard wheat flour so it’s an easy switch to make.

This week also marks Coeliac Awareness Week – for further information visit Coeliac UK. I also have around twenty gluten free friendly recipes in my archives. Pretty much all of my crumbles, blondies and brownies are made with gluten free flour.

The Speculoos crumbs in the photo topping these Belgian waffles would not be Coeliac friendly but can be easily subbed with some other crushed gluten free biscuits – preferably a spicy gingery one.

Making Belgian speculoos waffles

Waffles are a very easy recipe that you could make with kids. The batter is very similar to muffins where you mix dry ingredients with each other, mix wet ingredients with each other and then stir.

The waffle maker*  gets as hot as a sandwich maker but you don’t need to touch it. A grown up can pour the batter into the waffle maker if children are younger.

The only tricky bit is gauging the amount to pour so you don’t overflow.

It’s trial and error but the handy feature of the Sage waffle maker* is this “moat” around the edge for overflow. I have previously published a Sage waffle maker review here. If you put all the ingredients ready the night before, you could have waffles for breakfast ready in under twenty minutes – the first pair would be ready in a few minutes so you can serve whoever shouts loudest!

Speculoos Waffles with Banana and Chocolate (gluten free option) #BAKEoftheWEEK

Prep Time4 mins
Cook Time4 mins
Total Time8 mins
Course: Baking
Cuisine: Belgian
Servings: 7 -8 waffles
Author: Sarah Trivuncic

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 300 ml semi skimmed milk
  • 80 g unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200 g gluten free self raising flour
  • 35 g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp Koekridden speculoos spice use a 50/50 mix of ginger and cinnamon if you cannot find this
  • 3 bananas
  • 100 g dark chocolate melted
  • Speculoos biscuit crumbs these are not gluten free so replace with an alternative sweet spicy biscuit if you need to or cannot find them

Instructions

  • Preheat the Belgian waffle maker. If using the Sage waffle maker, use the Classic setting and choose your preferred browning setting.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix the wet ingredients; eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract.
  • In another bowl, sift the gluten free flour, spice and combine with the caster sugar.
  • Make a well in the dry ingredients and pouring in the wet ingredients, mix into a batter making sure the largest lumps are mixed in. A few small lumps are okay.
  • Using a ladle, pour the batter into each compartment of the waffle maker. Beware not to overfill. Close the lid and cook for around 4 minutes - or however long the built in timer suggests.
  • Serve waffles immediately with a topping of melted chocolate, banana slices and speculoos biscuit crumbs.

    These sound amazing! Our waffle maker sits unused, so I will have to break it out for these I think. Thanks for hosting.

    Speculoos always reminds me of my holidays – I know that it is far too dangerous to start buying the biscuits or they would be gone. On second thoughts though, my waffle maker is lying sadly neglected and would love to be used! Thanks for all your help with #bakeoftheweek once again this week xx
