Now I am going to tell you what ingredients you need to make this delicacy and how to make it.
Ingredients You Need
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup Nutella
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
- ¼ cup crushed graham crackers
Alternative Ingredients
If you do not have the ingredients I listed above, do not worry. You can swap them out for the alternatives below.
| Ingredient | Alternative |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | Whole wheat flour |
| Mini marshmallows | Marshmallow fluff |
| Milk | Almond or oat milk |
| Butter | Coconut oil |
| Nutella | Peanut butter + cocoa powder |
| Shredded coconut | Chopped almonds |
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until combined. Do not overmix.
- Lightly grease the waffle maker and pour in the batter. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crispy.
- While the waffles are cooking, toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan over low heat, stirring constantly until golden brown.
- Once the waffles are ready, spread Nutella over each one.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top and place the waffles under a broiler for about 30 seconds until the marshmallows melt slightly.
- Sprinkle toasted coconut and crushed graham crackers over the top.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Helpful Tips
- Do not overmix the batter. Lumps are fine, and overmixing will make the waffles dense.
- Toast the coconut on low heat and watch closely—it burns fast.
- For extra crispy waffles, let them cool for a minute before adding the toppings.
- If you do not have a broiler, you can melt the marshmallows with a kitchen torch.
- Want extra crunch? Add some chopped nuts like almonds or pecans.
