Storage & Reheating Tips

  • Storage: Let waffles cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Alternative Ingredients

  • Flour: Use whole wheat flour or a 1:1 gluten-free blend.
  • Milk: Substitute with oat, almond, or soy milk.
  • Eggs: Replace with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water per egg) for egg-free.
  • Butter: Use coconut oil or vegan butter for dairy-free.
  • Sweetener: Swap brown sugar with maple syrup or coconut sugar.

  • Maple syrup & whipped cream
  • Sautéed cinnamon apples or pears
  • Toasted pecans or walnuts
  • Greek yogurt & honey
  • Pumpkin seeds & dried cranberries
  • Chocolate chips & banana slices (for a treat!)
