Instructions

Preheat a waffle iron and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Carefully separate the eggs and place the egg whites into a large glass or metal mixing bowl, setting aside the yolks. Using a handheld mixer, or a whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and then set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and whisk to combine.
Make a well in the dry ingredients, then add the reserved egg yolks, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla and whisk the batter until almost completely smooth (there should still be some lumps).
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the batter mixture until there are no streaks, but do not overmix.
Add batter to your preheated waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions, cooking until they are golden brown on both sides.
Serve warm with butter, syrup and your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

Refrigerator: store leftover Belgian waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezer: freeze leftover waffles in freezer bags, or any other airtight container, for up to 1 month.

Reheating: the easiest way to reheat waffles is to pop them into a toaster. This way they will retain their crispiness. You can also microwave them, but they will stay very soft if you do.
