Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster oven or toaster!
- No Belgian waffle maker is needed! Use any waffle maker you want! Square, round, or even sticks!
Ingredient Notes
- Flour - All-purpose flour, not self-rising flour
- Olive Oil - Canola oil, coconut oil, or vegetable oil may be substituted for the olive oil.
- Milk - 2% milk or whole milk works best due to higher fat content. Almond milk and coconut milk do not work well. The waffles will not rise or brown if you use them.
How to make
- Heat up your waffle iron while you prepare the waffle batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
- Add the milk, eggs, cooking oil, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk until only a few flour lumps remain.
- Measure out the batter and cook in a hot waffle iron of your choice according to the manufacturer's instructions, as the amount of batter you will need varies per iron.
- When done, these delicious waffles are slightly golden brown.
- Repeat with the rest of the batter.
- The amount of waffles this recipe makes depends on the type of waffle maker you are using.
- Drizzle with maple syrup or a different syrup of your choice! PS...I've included a list of syrup recipes below!
- I make these easy waffles in a variety of waffle makers. Above, you have traditional rectangle ones.

FAQs and Helpful Tips
Can I freeze these?
Absolutely! Just make sure they are completely cool before wrapping them in saran wrap or placing them in a ziploc bag and popping them in the freezer!
How do you reheat them?
We just pop them in the toaster to reheat! Reheating frozen waffles takes a bit longer than non-frozen waffles.
