Variations

Waffles are a delicious and easy breakfast option, but sometimes you want to mix things up. Here are a few ways to change up your basic waffle recipe:

1. Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for a healthier option.
2. Add chocolate chips or fresh berries to the batter for a fun twist.
3. Substitute protein powder for ¼th of the flour for a filling meal.

Tips

• Use a non-stick waffle iron and spray. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
• Preheat your waffle iron before adding the batter to ensure evenly cooked waffles.
• Be careful not to overfill your waffle iron, or else your waffles can be too thick. You can also get a lot of batter spilling over.
• Toast for crispy waffles. For a crispier outside, cook in the iron for only a minute or two before it browns. Then finish it in the toaster oven.

Serving suggestions

There are many ways to serve a waffle. The most common way is with syrup, butter, and powdered sugar. You can also add fresh fruit, preserves, or honey.

For a savory option, try topping your waffle with sausage, eggs, and cheese. We like to bake sausage in the toaster oven.

Waffles are a great base for dessert. Try them with whipped cream and fresh berries or chocolate chips sprinkled on top.

If you're feeling adventurous, experiment with different sauces or spreads.

Storage

The recipe does make a large size waffle so you may want to eat half now and save the other half for later.

To store a leftover waffle, first wrap it in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Then, place the wrapped waffle in a resealable bag or container. Be sure to label the bag or container with the date so you know when the waffle was made.

Waffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days or in the freezer for up to three months. When you're ready to eat your leftover waffle, simply reheat it in the toaster or microwave.
