Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk)

1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Cooking spray or butter for the waffle iron

Optional: Fresh cilantro or chives for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If it needs a light coating of oil, use cooking spray or butter to prepare it.

    Prepare the Corn Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, chopped green onions, and garlic powder. Stir to combine the ingredients evenly and set aside.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and sugar until well combined.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add in the milk and sour cream. Mix well until everything is smooth and homogeneous.

          Combine Everything: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it may lead to tough waffles. Fold in the sweet corn mixture until distributed evenly throughout the batter.

            Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using a ladle to spread it out (amount depending on your waffle iron size). Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crispy (usually about 4-6 minutes).

              Serve Immediately: Carefully remove the waffles and serve them hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro or chives, if desired. These waffles can be paired with a side of avocado, a dollop of sour cream, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
