Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 3–4 mins per batch
Serves: 2–3
Ingredients
-
50g granola dust
-
100g self-raising flour
-
½ tsp baking powder
-
1 large free-range egg
-
220ml semi-skimmed milk
-
Wilson’s Foods Olive Oil (for greasing)
-
Optional toppings: fresh fruit, natural yoghurt, runny honey
Method
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the granola dust, self-raising flour, and baking powder.
Step 2
Crack in the egg and whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Step 3
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with Wilson’s Olive Oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavour.
Step 4
Pour in enough batter to fill the mould (without overfilling) and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions. Typically, this takes around 3 to 4 minutes until golden and crisp.
Step 5
Serve warm with toppings of your choice. We recommend sliced bananas, seasonal berries, a dollop of thick yoghurt, and a drizzle of honey for a naturally sweet finish.
Using granola dust as the base adds subtle crunch and heartiness without making the batter dense. It’s a great way to boost fibre content while still enjoying that signature waffle texture. Paired with Wilson’s Olive Oil, you also get a hit of healthy fats that keeps the batter light and moist.
Plus, this is one of those recipes that feels indulgent while still being aligned with healthy living—especially when topped with yoghurt and fruit.
