Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt until combined.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1 3/4 cups milk, then slowly whisk in 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy but without dry flour.
4. Step 4: Lightly grease the waffle iron and pour approximately 1 cup of batter onto it; cook for 4-5 minutes or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
5. Step 5: For the maple butter, combine 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter and 2 tbsp pure maple syrup in a small bowl, mixing until smooth and spreadable.
6. Step 6: Serve each waffle topped with a generous dollop of maple butter and 1/4 cup mixed fresh berries, enjoying the warm, sweet, and fruity flavors.
