Learn how to make waffles from scratch with this easy recipe that is bound to make your weekends more delicious. This is a breakfast that comes together in less than 30 minutes, and it is a recipe that relies on pantry staples you probably have at home already.
These waffles are light and fluffy in texture and they can be topped with anything you like! I was indulgent and added whipped cream, raspberries, and a touch of maple syrup. If you want to be healthy, add some peanut butter, jam, or lemon curd.
I love waffles, they remind me of college. That was the time of my life when my waffle consumption reached its peak. I think every college cafeteria has a waffle station. I probably ate waffles on a weekly basis back then. After college waffles became a rare treat due to lack of access of a waffle maker.
As an adult, I always wanted a waffle maker, but at the same time, I didn’t have room for another appliance – especially an appliance that only has one function! Recently I was given a mini waffle maker, and I love it more than I thought I would. It makes waffles that are the same size as an eggo waffle. I have this waffle maker, it’s the perfect size for someone with a small kitchen and it costs less than $15. Plus, smaller waffles cook faster. My waffle maker gets the job done in 2-3 minutes!
If you want to make a grab and go breakfast, you can cook up a batch of these waffles, freeze them, and in reheat them in your toaster before eating. Just like an eggo, but homemade.
I know what you might be thinking. Serving waffles in a giant stack isn’t very practical, and I agree. It does make for some fun photos though. The photos depict a full batch of mini waffles, which yields 5 waffles. It’s perfect for two people. You can easily double or triple the recipe if you need to make more servings.
