1-How to Prepare the Perfect Zucchini Waffles: Getting zucchini waffles just right involves simple steps that anyone can follow, even if you’re new to the kitchen. Begin by pre-heating a waffle maker to about 400 °F (roughly 200 °C) to ensure even cooking and a crispy finish. Grate the zucchini and then place it in a strainer or wrap it in a clean dish towel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible, which helps keep the waffles from getting too wet.

2-Combine Dry Ingredients: Next, in a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar to create your dry mix. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth, forming the wet ingredients. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything blends evenly, then gently fold in the squeezed zucchini to add that fresh veggie goodness.

3-Cooking the Waffles: Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking, and ladle about ½ cup (roughly 120 ml) of batter onto each section. Cook until the waffles are golden and crisp, which takes just a few minutes. For a vegan option, use plant-based milk like almond and replace each egg with ¼ cup (about 60 ml) of an egg replacer such as flaxseed gel.
