Why You Will Love These Waffles
- EASY – The waffle batter uses pantry and fridge staple ingredients and comes together in one bowl, plus it can be made ahead.
- Versatile – you can add just about any mix-in from chocolate chips to blueberries and even use the base for savory waffles.
- Tasty – a waffle should taste great on its own even before the toppings are added and this base has great flavor.
- Super Fluffy – the soft center of a homemade waffle batter is hard to match with frozen store-bought waffles which are usually dense and flat.

Tips for the Best Waffles
Here are our secrets to making the best homemade waffles. It will ensure your waffles rise well and have that perfect crispy exterior and soft interior.
- Whip eggs and sugar – Beat on high speed with an electric handheld mixer for 3 minutes until they are fluffy and increase in volume. Incorporating air into the eggs and sugar helps the waffles rise. You can vigorously whip by hand but it will take longer.
- Leave lumps in your batter – Over-mixing develops the gluten more and results in tough waffles. The batter should be lumpy.

How to Make Waffles
- Beat eggs and sugar on high speed for 3 minutes until fluffy and whipped.
- Add remaining wet ingredients: oil, milk, and vanilla
- Add dry ingredients – in a small bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt then add to the batter.
- Beat on low speed until combined, but still lumpy (don’t overmix)
- Heat waffle press – we set our All-Clad press to 3, but adjust your settings to your desired crispiness then spray lightly with cooking spray if needed.
- Make Waffles – use a scoop or ladle to pour just enough batter to fill the grooves. Leave some room for expansion. Serve warm.
![Hot waffles on wire rack](https://natashaskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Waffle-Recipe-3-728x485.jpg)
Serving Tip: To keep waffles warm while cooking batches, place waffles on a wire rack and set them inside of a baking sheet. Keep warm in a 175˚F oven. Avoid keeping in the warm oven for longer than 30 minutes so they don’t dry out.
Add-Ins and Variations
- Chocolate – add 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and stir the batter between each scoop as the chocolate settles at the bottom.
- Blueberries – add 1 cup fresh blueberries or toss 1 cup frozen blueberries with 1 tsp flour then stir into the batter. Don’t over-mix or the batter will discolor.
- Whole Wheat Flour – sub the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour to get Whole Wheat Waffles.
- Zest – adding zest from 1 to 2 lemons or zest from an orange will infuse your waffles with great flavor.
- Savory – use the same waffle base and top plain waffles with sliced avocado, and poached egg. We add a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and paprika.

Common Questions
Should the waffle maker be steaming?
Seeing the lid rising slightly and the steam escaping is normal and means your waffle is puffing appropriately.
What if the batter is leaking out?
If you see batter spurting out of the sides, you’ve used too much batter.
Can I make these without a waffle iron?
You can butter a skillet and use this same batter to make yummy pancakes.
Our favorite is our All-Clad waffle iron because it makes a bigger batch at once and doesn’t stick, but a Belgian waffle maker is also great and we’ve had one for years. This recipe works in both.
How do I know when waffles are done?
The exterior should be golden and crispy. If it looks pale, close the lid and continue to cook another minute or until the desired color is reached. Most waffles take between 3-5 minutes and you can always close the lid and cook longer if needed.

Serve With
Waffles are such a treat for breakfast, with simple toppings or you can even create a breakfast waffle charcuterie board with all your favorite toppings:
- Powdered Sugar (confectioners sugar)

Make-Ahead
Pre-make the Batter: Make the batter, cover, and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Lightly whisk the batter before using it in case any ingredients have separated.
Refrigerate or Freeze Waffles: Cool waffles on a wire rack then transfer to an airtight container or large ziplock bag and refrigerate or freeze until ready to use. Reheat from frozen in a toaster or air fryer to re-crisp.

Fluffy Waffle Recipe (VIDEO)
![Stack of homemade waffles with berries](https://natashaskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Waffle-Recipe-SQ-150x150.jpg)
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light olive oil, canola or vegetable oil
- 1 3/4 cups milk, any kind
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, 250 gr
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl beat together 2 eggs and 2 Tbsp sugar at high speed for 3 minutes until fluffy.
- Add remaining wet ingredients in this order: oil, milk, and vanilla
- Stir 4 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt into the 2 cups of flour then add dry ingredients to the bowl.
- Beat on low speed just until combined. Do not over mix – the batter should have small lumps.
- Preheat waffle iron (we set ours to 3). Grease waffle iron if needed (some non-stick waffle makers don’t need to be sprayed or brushed with oil).
- Once the waffle iron is preheated, spray with cooking oil or brush the grates (if needed), then add enough batter to just barely fill the grooves. Leave some space for expansion. Cover and cook until the timer is done or to the desired golden-crispiness. Use plastic or silicone tongs to remove the waffle and serve warm.
Great recipe! They came out light and fluffy. They were a big hit with the family. I had mine with fresh apple butter and they were amazing!
So glad they were a hit, Ron!
Excellent recipe! Followed exactly and made Belgian waffles, had no issues with sticking and they were light and fluffy and tasted amazing! Thankful to have found this one; it’s a keeper!
That’s wonderful, Nic! So glad you loved it.
Super easy to make and is very delicious with ice cream. I love your recipes and videos.
Hi Monique! I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you the feedback.
How much medium Eggs do I need to use since I have no large eggs
Hi Vivian, you may be able to use the same amount. I found these guidelines with a quick Google search. 3 large eggs are equivalent to: 3 medium eggs, 3 extra-large eggs, 2 jumbo eggs. 4 large eggs are equivalent to: 5 medium eggs, 4 extra-large eggs, 3 jumbo eggs. 5 large eggs are equivalent to: 6 medium eggs, 4 extra-large eggs, 4 jumbo eggs. I hope that helps.
I love you and all your recipes, however this one stumps me. I have a nice Breville waffle iron and I make waffles very often. This recipe stuck to the waffle iron! What did I do wrong???
Hi Robyn, did you make sure to put oil in the batter (without cutting back on oil) and also make sure to grease the grate of the waffle iron and fully preheat. If the waffle iron isn’t fully preheated it’s more likely to stick. I hope that helps.
Easy ingredients! However, the waffle batter also stuck to my waffle maker too 🙁 . I sprayed oil on the waffle grates and didn’t skimp on the 1/2 cup of olive oil either, but the batter still stuck :/.
Ve made this waffle recipe several times now. I made it today and accidentally forgot to add the 1/2 cup oil to recipe. Waffles turned still crispy outside but still fluffy texture inside waffle. This is the best waffle/pancake recipe ever I’ve ever made!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, Judy!
I’ve been searching for a delicious waffle recipe and finally found one! The technique is pretty important so I strongly suggest you see the video and definitely do not cook over 3 on the waffle iron. My 4 settings came out crunchy and a bit hard; 3 settings came out perfect! I’m going to try with melted butter instead of vegetable oil for more flavor next time. Although, the flavor was really good.
Questions:
Have you tried the Aluminum free Baking soda advertised? Is it still light and fluffy?
Will my suggested melted butter replacement change the texture of the waffle?
Thanks for the recipe and response in advance.
Halima F.
Hi Halima, we always use aluminum free baking powder (I think you meant baking powder since there is no baking soda in this recipe). And we prefer aluminum free because it doesn’t have a metallic taste to it and aluminum is considered an unhealthy ingredient. Here’s a good article on why it’s better to use aluminum free baking powder.
After seeing several “crispy” waffle recipes calling for cornstarch and resting the ingredients, I was so happy to find THIS one. I’m not kidding when I say these waffles are PERFECT! It took my hand mixer a good 8 minutes for the eggs/sugar to reach the fluffy consistency shown in the video. I also added a dash of cinnamon to the dry ingredients. This one is a definite keeper!
What an awesome review! Thank you so much for sharing your experience trying out this recipe, Lori. We’re glad that you love it!
Hey Natasha, I love adding a dash of almond extract, like .5 teaspoon. Used to only do it in pancakes, but it’s great in this recipe too. Or a little grand marnier. Thanks for all the great recipes, I used to be very strict chef John only, but I love yours too!
Hi Matt! The almond extract sounds yummy! Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad you loved the recipe.
Y’all this is THE BEST waffle recipe out there. I almost never have buttermilk or fancy milks out there to make waffles so when I saw that I could use regular milk I had to try it. The first time I made them they were AMAZING! My hubby who likes pancakes more was in love and so were my brother in laws. They are the fluffiest, yummiest waffles ever. I’ve already made them twice and refrigerated in 2 weeks and I still have some batter in my fridge. Definitely my go to waffle recipe. I’m going to have to memorize it bc it’s so delicious.
Love this! Thanks a lot for your great comments and feedback, Yana. Hope that you will love all the recipes that you will try from our website!
Beef Stroganoff and Salmon Cakes Recipes both came out great. I may have tweaked something here or there due to circumstances. I cook professionally, and like to do research before cooking whether it’s something I’m familiar with or a dish that’s new to me. On more than a couple occasions I’ve found myself differing to your judgment over some of the well known “celebrity” chefs. Nothing wrong with tweaking an ingredient here or there if it gets desirable results. I also enjoy the way your videos are edited/produced. Very positive vibes without being too sterile or corny. Thanks Natasha.
You’re welcome and no worries, it’s totally fine. I hope you’l love all the recipes that you will try!
Hi Natasha!
I was wondering how long would the waffles last in et he freezer for?
Thank you 🙂
Hi Rebecca, I have not tried freezing them for more than 1 month.
You are the best, Thanks for all the delicious recipes 👍
Aww, thank you!
Hi Natasha can you write please exactly on gr., when you saying 1 cups, please say exactly it’s 250gr cup,or 125 gr cup you use, when you say 1 cup?
Hi Diana, If you scroll down to our printable recipe card, most of our recipes have a metric conversion option on the printable recipe card. We are currently working on adding metric measurements to all of our recipes, but it is taking some time to add them one at a time. Thank you so much for being patient! In the meantime, check out our post on measuring which should help.
Hi Natasha,
Thank you for your waffle recipe. If I just refrigerate these over night, for how long should I put them into the oven for to reheat in the morning? And what temperature, so waffles are warm and crispy? (I just have to make a lot.) Thank you in advance for your advise on this!
Hi Alisha! You can definitely reheat this using your air fryer but I haven’t personally tested it yet to advise of the timing and temperature. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes.
Made these waffles as the recipe called for and they were out of this world. Even the batter tasted great. Love your recipes. My go to website for recipes. Thanks!
That’s so inspiring for me, Deb. Thank you so much for sharing that with us!
Best Waffles ever. Tender and yummy. My husband loved them.
So glad they were enjoyed!
I tried making your waffle but when I whipped the eggs and sugar it did not get fluffy and I used and electric hand mixer. What did I do wrong?
I’ve never had this issue before, did you beat it on high speed with your electric handheld mixer until it became fluffy?
The best waffles. I made them for my teenage grandsons and my 13 year old said they were the biggest and best he had ever had. He said the ones his mom made were small and round and came in a box…lol. These truly are the best!
So glad to hear that, Debbie! Thank you for the wonderful review.
Can these be frozen in advance? Like a better alternative to Eggo 🙂
Hi Missy, yes, you can freeze these. Just wrap them up well so they don’t get freezer burn.
Probably the best waffle recipe. My daughter and I made this abd it was a hit. Light and crispy.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Di!
Hi, was wondering if this recipe would work for bubble waffles too? Thanks! Gabby
Hi Gabby! I have not tested it but I think it would work. Please let us know how it turns out.
They turned out great! 🙂 i wish I could attach a picture of them.
I’m so glad you enjoyed them, Gabby! Feel free to share some photos of your creation on our Facebook page or group.
I made waffles today. They turned out fluffy but I can literally taste baking soda. This recipe calls for 4 tsp. I will do 3tsp next time. I hope it will taste better next time.
I absolutely love this recipe! It’s been my go to ever since I discovered it. The waffles are fluffy and light. I add chocolate chips for my daughter and blueberries for me! My daughter’s classmates love them too!
Great to hear that the recipe is a huge hit!
Me and my kids gobbled these down! So good! We added strawberries, blueberries and mangoes …topped with honey and whip cream they said it was the best waffles they’ve ever had! Thank you!
Aww! That’s great, Julia. Thank you for sharing, I’m so happy you and your family enjoyed this recipe.
Natasha, your waffles are the best! Thank you for all your scrumptious recipes with super clear instructions and your entertaining video tutorials.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Beverly!
I watched your video, and for the first time in many years, I made waffles. Absolutely the easiest recipe. The waffles came out delicious!
Thanks for watching and for trying out the recipe! I hope you’ll love all the recipes that you will try.
This waffle recipe is epic! Truth be told, I tried this recipe several times but they kept turning out dense and I was so frustrated. But Natasha’s kitchen is my go too for pretty much everything, so I knew I was doing something wrong. Watched the video. I was mixing after each addition of oil, milk, and flour. Yeah…don’t do that. Just follow Natasha. She’s a boss!
Aww, thank you, Lisa. So glad it finally turned out for you. Thank you for the excellent review.
Your recipes are ALL fabulous!! I know I can trust making anything from your site because they always turn out great! Thank you so much!!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Mary Jane!
Oh my!!!
I just made them with my 7y old. They are amazing!!!
Thank you for yet again another wonderful recipe!
You’re welcome! Glad you loved it.
We enjoyed these waffles this morning! So delicious!! Used 1/2 AP flour and 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour (just had some I needed to use up) and used buttermilk for the milk portion. This will be in my favorites category for sure!!
Thank you for sharing your experiment. I’m so happy you have found a new favorite. Thank you for the excellent review.
These are truly fluffy waffles! The recipe is easy, goes together quickly, and uses ingredients that I keep in my pantry. The web site has answered all of the questions I have about waffles. I like that the batter can be made ahead of time, and that it is versatile. I tho k I’ll make these waffles frequently. Thank you.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, Ann!
Hi Natasha, wondering if I can substitute oats flour and coconut sugar
Hello Emm, I honestly haven’t tried that to advise. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes.
Hi Natasha! This is a week late. But my sister and I made this recipe last Sunday for breakfast for our family and us. We loved them! We added berries on top for extra color and flavor as well. Thank you for the recipe Natasha!
You’re welcome, Zoie! Adding berries is a great idea and great to know that you both loved it!
A 5-Star in my book! I was a little curious about the olive oil but the waffles were light, fluffy and a little crispy on the outside. It’ll be my go-to waffle recipe from now on. Another winning recipe Natasha!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review, Jill!
Hi Natasha your waffle recipe is fantastic. Make it twice every week . I also made your cherry sauce topping for the waffles and for a homemade cheesecake. It was heaven on a plate. Thank you 😊
Lovely to hear that you’ve been enjoying our recipes! Thanks a lot for sharing that with us.
These are the best! I made them for a family brunch and everyone loved them! They are crispy and soft and the flavor of just the waffle itself without any syrup or toppings is so good! Thank you for this recipe and all your great tips. I doubled the recipe with great results.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Yesenia!
Hi I made this recipe for my family today and they were a hit! I have one question my batter seemed to be thicker than yours in your video you batter looks more runny than thick what am I doing wrong?
Hi Sandy, I recommend ensuring you’re not using too much flour. Be sure to measure by fluffing the flour first with a spoon then spoon it into a dry ingredient measuring cup and scrape off the top. If you push your measuring cup into a flour bin, you will get up to 25% too much flour. Also, do not tap the flour down in the measuring cup.
Absolutely the best waffle recipe. Tried if for some clients and they loved it.
Thank you
I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks a lot for your good feedback, Gaby.
Have tried this recipe twice. Perfect both times!
Family so happy.
Thanks for your generosity in sharing recipes.
Your channel is awesome!
Love these waffles it was a hit
love your recipes It’s a great change to be able to pick and choose your awesome recipes
thanks Natasha
Thank you, so glad you’re enjoying them!
I have made this recipe many times since Natasha posted it. So yummy!! I have made pancakes using the same recipe. Still waiting on a cookbook….please!
I’m so glad to hear you’ve made this a few times! We’re working on the cookbook! Stay tuned!
Please, no cookbooks…unless you can implement videos into those cookbooks. Your videos are absolutely the cherry on top. You are the bomb, Natasha!!!
Made these waffles, it was easy to make and so delicious!
Thanks for your great feedback, glad you loved it!
Can you use this recipe in a Belgium waffle maker? Also can you define when to sift the flour in recipes? Never sift unless it says sift? Have mad several of your recipes. You are extremely talented with your cooking skills.
Hi Loretta! This will work great in a Belgium waffle maker! I note when it needs to be sifted! I hope you love this recipe.
First time making homemade waffles. So light and fluffy!! A hit with my family 🙂
Great job and happy to hear that it was a hit!
Hi, I have lots of batter left over. Can I freeze it for next time?
Hi Vicki, you can premake the batter, cover, and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Lightly whisk the batter before using it in case any ingredients have separated. I haven’t tried freezing the batter, but we have frozen the waffles.
I love this waffle. It’s super airy and not heavy in batter. My kids make me make this for them once a week 😆
Do you have a recipe for pineapple upside down cake? My husband requested it for his birthday
Thanks for sharing that with us. I don’t have a recipe for that but here are my Cake Recipes that you can check out.
My two kids devoured entire batch of waffles and declared them best waffles ever.
That is the best when kids love what we moms make. That’s so great!
Made this recipe for the first time being a little skeptical in how they were going to turn out, but it didn’t disappoint. They were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. So delicious!! Me and my husband loved them. Great recipe to make again. Thanks so much.
I’m so happy these were a hit, Maria! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Easy and tastes great! 5 stars all the way.
Hi Kathy! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Can I reheat this waffle recipe in an oven after freezing please ?
Hi Clarissa, yes, you can reheat this waffle in the oven; it also reheats well in an air fryer. I hope you love this recipe.
Hi Natasha! I’m going to try out this recipe soon! I recently got the same waffle maker as you do! I was curious what setting you cook your waffles on? Last time I made some waffles I cooked them on “3” and thought they were maybe too crispy. Was thinking to try “2”. Curious which one you do?
Thanks! 🙂
Hi Alicia, we have that note in the recipe for you 🙂 See the section called: How to Make Waffles. Step 5 states: “Heat waffle press – we set our All-Clad press to 3, but adjust your settings to your desired crispiness, then spray lightly with cooking spray if needed.” Since yours was too crispy on three, I would try two to see how you like that. I hope that helps!
Can the batter be refrigerated or put in the freezer? And how long will it stay good for?
Hi Robin, you can premake the batter, cover, and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Lightly whisk the batter before using it in case any ingredients have separated.
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, its nice to prep easy yet good food specially when you have 4 small kids & like my situation my husband has multiple sclerosis and my oldest daughter & 3 kid boy have cystic fibrosis its so hard doung treatments for them & taking care of the family and helping your husband its tuff but we trust in the Lord He is helping us &we see His mercy and blessings. Im definitely going to make all these good choices for waffles and pancakes. May God bless you! By any chance do u have a cookbook & if u do where can i purchase it?
You’re very welcome, Olga. It’s my pleasure! I currently don’t have a cookbook but I am already working on it so stay tuned for it!
Delicious! I made these exactly according to the recipe and they came out so fluffy! I didn’t feel like using my electric beaters (because of how early it was) so I beat the eggs and sugar by hand and the waffles came out perfect. Thanks for another great recipe!
I’m so glad that worked out Bella!
Hi Natasha,
Are your eggs from Costco? Asking because “large egg” is different from brand to brand (for example, the large egg from Costco is a lot bigger than the Safeway’s…). If not Costco would you mind weight it (with shell)? The actual size of the eggs may not matter in this recipe, but I found it matters a lot for baking…
Thanks in advance!
Hi Danielle, we use large Grade A eggs in all of our recipes. Costco also has extra-large eggs so make sure you aren’t getting those if you don’t want to make the conversions later.
These came out so delicious and so fluffy! What blender do you use? It took me way longer than three minutes to whip the eggs to the consistency in your video.
Hi Yelena, I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe! You can find our favorite kitchen tools in our Amazon Affiliate Shop HERE.
I have to tell you Natasha, this is the best waffle recipe that I have found. I have tried so many but my family has disliked them all. They were all too heavy and some felt like rocks in your tummy. I put my waffle iron away and said no more, it was just a waste of time trying to make waffles that no one would eat. Then I tried yours and they really were fluffy just like you said. My family loved them (yay). Now this is my new go to waffle and pancake recipe. Also, made a few pancakes with this recipe and they were just as great as the waffles. No more waiting to buy pancakes or waffles at a restaurant.
My family and I thank you so much for this recipe.
Thanks again. 🙂
Linda
Forgot to give you a 5 star rating for this recipe.
Wow! That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Linda! I’m so glad you found a family favorite on my blog!
WOW! I used my gluten free flour blend (I think it’s one of the Kroger brands), cut the recipe in half, and made one big waffle in my four-section maker. Yum!!! I made Natasha’s wheat batch for my family and they loved them. Mine didn’t cook inside, took a second round inside the waffle maker, but now it’s amazing. Crunchy outside & fluffy inside! Made fresh whipped cream and added blackberries and mini choc chips on top! Thanks Natasha!
(The not cooking part is due to gluten-free flour)
I used part melted butter, part coconut oil
You’re welcome, Rebekah! I’m happy to hear the gluten-free blend works well here!
Can you use melted butter instead of oil?
Hi Diana, I always make these with oil, but melted butter should work.
I almost gave up on making waffles until I made this- so easy and super fluffy thank you!
You are very welcome, Mary. I’m glad you didn’t give up and loved this recipe!
Can you substitute melted butter for the olive oil?
Hi Lindsay, I always make these with oil, but melted butter should work.
The best recipe! You shared so many secrets of the best waffles. Thank you! My family loves them.
Hi Lana! They seriously are the best! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I hadn’t made waffles in several years and couldn’t find my recipe. I’m glad I couldn’t because these were superior!!! We had these for dinner, which I love to do from time to time and I’m happy to say that we will be doing that more often. Soooo easy and soooo delicious!! Thank you soooo much! 🙂
You’re welcome, Nancy!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
We made these for breakfast yesterday morning. They were definitely the easiest and fluffiest waffles I’ve ever made from scratch. Hands down the best recipe and the only recipe I will use from now on! Thanks so much for the great recipe!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Laurie!
I made them for my wife yesterday. The batter was made about 5 hours before I made them just to try out the “make ahead” option. They were great. I want to prep the batter the night before Mother’s Day so I can have a more relaxed prep on Sunday morning. I used sunflower oil.
I’m so happy you loved the waffles and took advantage of the make-ahead option. Thanks for sharing that it works well with sunflower oil.
Hi!
I just meal prepped these for this coming week for the kiddos. I’m going to freeze them. I’d love to reheat these in our air fryer. How long should I let them cook when they are frozen, and what temperature?
Thanks
Can’t wait to try them!
Hello Erica, you can definitely reheat this using your air fryer but I haven’t personally tested it yet to advise of the timing and temperature. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes.
Wow, Natasha- you can pay yourself on the back- again 😊. Those are absolutely fantastic! My new favorite waffle recipe. As always- thank you for sharing and keep the great recipes coming ❤️.
Forgot to give you 5 stars 😊. You deserve it!
That’s nice of you, Anna. Thank you for the 5 stars!
Thanks for your great feedback and appreciation, Anna. Great to hear that you are enjoying my recipes!
Love all your recipes! so when I saw this one I had to try it. Whole family loved them this morning. It Will be my new go to waffle recipe.
Thanks so much for your good comments and feedback Anna. We appreciate it!
Hey! Thankyou you so much for answering my waffle request!!!!
cant wait to try.
Hi Jess, you are so welcome! I hope you love our waffle recipe!
Excellent. My new go to waffle recipe❤️ Thank you
Hi Kathy, I am so happy you found a new favorite in these waffles. Thanks for sharing that with me!
Your recipes are some of the best I’ve tried; however, could you please stop recommending the use of Canola Oil – it is extremely toxic. There are better oils to use.
Hi Cathy, people often ask about substituting so I include it. Our go-to is extra light olive oil from Costco.
Best waffle recipe I’ve tried ! They are soft , fluffy and delicious. Will definitely be my go to for Saturday’s now .
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Anna!
I made these this morning. I didn’t use the mixer because my husband was still asleep so I just beat the eggs by hand for a quick minute. I had 3/4 cup of buttermilk that I wanted to use up so I added that to the cup of milk. These turned out fabulous! This will be my new waffle recipe.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Kathleen! I’m so glad that worked out.
Love the waffles. I mashed a little banana into them. Delicious !!!!!!
Oh wow that sounds so delicious with mashed banana added! Thank you for sharing that tip for banana waffles!
Super good! Key is definitely in the whipping of the eggs.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Yes! It’s such a quick 3-minute process but makes a big difference to whip the eggs and sugar. It’s the same process we use in our Sponge Cake Recipe which rises with hardly any leavening.
I made them this morning (I am in Germany). They are on the rather crunchy side. Be careful as they do brown quickly.
Hi Jenny, thanks for sharing! Depending on the type of waffle press, you will need to adjust the cooking time to get to the desired crispness. Every waffle maker is a little different with settings.
Where are the notes?
Hi Sherry, when you click on the recipe post HERE. You can read through the entire blog post.
My kids loved this recipe for breakfast this morning! I’ll definitely be making these a lot more now!
I’m so happy to hear your kids loved the waffles. Thank you for sharing that with me.
Can I use buttermilk for these waffles?
Hi Sheila, I haven’t tested that but I think it’s worth experimenting with. If you test that out, please let me know how you like it.
Love how thick & fluffy they are!! Waffles are our go-to, over pancakes & this recipe is the best!
They really are, especially when they’re this fresh and fluffy!
