Coconut oil adds a rich sweetness to the batter; shredded coconut delivers crunch.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toast coconut on a rimmed baking sheet until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Let cool.
Step 2
Whisk flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk eggs, buttermilk, milk, oil, and sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients (do not overmix). Mix in 3/4 cup coconut; set aside remaining coconut.
Step 3
Heat a waffle iron until very hot. Coat with nonstick spray. Working in batches, cook waffles until golden brown. Serve topped with butter, syrup, and reserved coconut.

Back to TopThis is really good, but would make the following changes: Reduce the oil by 1/3 (I had coconut oil sweating down the side of my waffle maker).. since another reviewer mentioned that cutting the oil by 1/2 was too much Reduce the sugar by 1/2 if you are serving with syrup.. I cut by 1/3 this time and it was still pretty sweet/didn't need syrup. Other than that - they reheat/crisp great and I love all the coconut flavor!

Really like these. They are yummy with the chicken-pineapple sausages we get at Costco.

These waffles turned out to be very dense, heavy and oily. Not a fan.

The first time I made these, the batter was extremely thin. However, they tasted great. The family ate them without syrup and the entire batch was gone.... The second time I made these, I cut the coconut oil and sugar in half. Still good, but better the first time. Either way, this recipe is a keeper!

Wow, loved this one! Used all buttermilk because I love buttermilk. I didn't bother with sugar, unsweetened coconut is sweet enough. Especially if you put syrup on your waffles. Definitely can't wait to make again.

I made these this morning and they were delicious. I had to toast the coconut for about 4 minutes.

Honestly, the best waffles I have ever made. Delicious served with real maple syrup, applewood smoked bacon and a citrus salad (cut off peels of oranges, tangerines, grapefruit and slice in rounds - sprinkle w/pomegranate seeds and drizzle w/honey)

Fantastic recipe. I smeared them with Hee Boo coconut jam before sprinkling the coconut on before serving and didn't need syrup. Could not eat these fast enough.

I added this recipe at the last minute to a Christmas Day brunch we had and boy am I glad I did. Everyone loved them and went back for seconds.In fact they have requested the same menu for next year! Will definitely save this one and you don't need to change a thing.

Excellent waffle recipe!!! I wasn't able to find unsweetened coconut, so I just used the sweetened flakes and cut the sugar a little. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. My family loves anything coconut and everyone raved about them. This is definitely a keeper recipe.
