Instructions

1 ✓

Roast peanuts in a dry skillet for a few minutes until fragrant, then chop coarsely. Peel and dice the mango.

Tip: Roasting brings out peanut oils, intensifying the flavor.
2 ✓

Mix flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar in a bowl.

Tip: Pre-mixing dry ingredients ensures baking powder distributes evenly for even rising.
3 ✓

In another bowl, whisk eggs, add coconut milk and lukewarm melted butter. Pour liquid into flour and mix until lump-free.

Tip: Fat content in coconut milk creates a denser, richer batter than cow's milk.
4 ✓

Bake waffles in a hot, greased waffle iron until golden brown. Serve with mango cubes, roasted peanuts, and a squeeze of lime.

Tip: Lime acid cuts through the sweetness of the coconut milk and batter, balancing flavors.

Recipe FAQ

Why did it stick to the iron?
Sugar in coconut milk can make this batter stickier. Grease the iron thoroughly with oil before every waffle!
Can I use canned mango?
Yes, but fresh mango's acidity and texture suit this recipe much better.
