Churro Mickey Waffles Ingredients
*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.
Eggs: These will be used to bind the waffle batter together. Use large eggs, preferably at room temperature.
Flour: All-purpose flour is what we’ll be using for this recipe. If you’re looking to make gluten-free Churro Mickey Waffles, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 ratio of gluten-free baking mix.
Milk: Whole milk works best for this recipe but you can use other types of milk such as almond, oat, or soy.
Oil: Vegetable or canola oil works best for this recipe but you can also use other types of oil such as coconut, avocado, sunflower, etc.
Sugar: This adds the right amount of sweetness to your waffles. For a healthier option, try using an alternative sweetener such as honey or maple syrup.
Baking Powder: This will help the waffles rise and be fluffy.
Vanilla Extract: For added flavor, use pure vanilla extract. You can also substitute it with almond or other flavored extracts.
Salt: Salt helps to bring out the sweetness of the waffles. Use a pinch of salt for best results.
Malted Milk Powder: Malted milk powder adds a nice depth of flavor to the waffles.
Butter: For the churro coating, you’ll be using melted butter.
Cinnamon & Sugar: This is what makes Churro Mickey Waffles so special! Mix up your own blend of cinnamon and sugar or use a pre-made mixture for ease.
