If you’ve been anywhere near TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen the 2-ingredient waffle taking the internet by storm. When I heard about it, I was skeptical. Just eggs and peanut butter? How could something so simple deliver on the crispy, golden promise of a true waffle? Curiosity got the best of me, and let me tell you—I’ve got some thoughts (and tips) to share.
Cooking It Up: Waffle Goals Achieved
I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting much when I poured the batter into my waffle iron. To my surprise, the results were shockingly waffle-y! The texture was airy yet crisp around the edges, and it held up like a pro. Unlike those egg-based keto breads that often come off rubbery and weirdly dense, this waffle didn’t have that overwhelming eggy vibe. Big win!
The Good, the Meh, and the Dry
While I was genuinely impressed with the overall taste and texture, I couldn’t ignore one small hiccup—it was a tad dry. Not Sahara-desert dry, but definitely more "reaching for the syrup" than I’d like.
To counteract this, I did some tinkering, and now I’m ready to share my upgrades to elevate this waffle to perfection.
How to Keep Your Waffle from Drying Out
Add a Dash of Moisture: Stir in a tablespoon of Greek yogurt. This works wonders for the texture, making the waffle slightly fluffier and more moist.
Bring the Baking Powder Magic: Just ¼ teaspoon of baking powder can give the waffle a little more lift and lightness, improving the overall mouthfeel.
Sweeten It Up (If Needed): If you’re using unsweetened peanut butter, a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup can enhance the flavor beautifully without overloading on sugar.
Amp Up the Flavor: Add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla extract. Trust me, this tiny tweak will make your kitchen smell like heaven and add a warm, cozy vibe to the waffle.
Bonus Add-Ins for the Adventurous:
Chia Seeds or Ground Flaxseed: A small sprinkle for extra fiber and omega-3s.
Mini Chocolate Chips: Because who doesn’t love a little indulgence?
Fresh Berries: Fold in some blueberries or chopped strawberries for bursts of freshness.
The Updated Recipe: Less Dry, More Delicious
Ingredients:
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons peanut butter (preferably smooth)
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
Optional: 1 teaspoon honey, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat your waffle iron and grease it lightly.
In a blender or mixing bowl, combine all ingredients until smooth.
Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings. (Hint: Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of maple syrup make an amazing combo.)
Overall, this viral waffle gets a thumbs-up from me for its simplicity, versatility, and surprisingly legit taste. It’s the perfect quick breakfast or snack when you’re in a pinch. With a few tweaks, it transforms from “almost there” to “chef’s kiss.”
