Waffles
These waffles are my weekend ritual—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and they make the house smell like a cozy breakfast dream.
I started making these waffles when my best friend came over for brunch one lazy Sunday, and they've been our tradition ever since.
The magic happened when I discovered that preheating my waffle iron an extra 10 minutes makes them even crispier.
This recipe brings me joy every time I make it, knowing it's a little piece of love I can share.
Plus, there's something so satisfying about making them from scratch with whole ingredients.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I usually grab whole wheat flour for more nutrients, but if you're out, white flour works in a pinch. No almond milk? Oat milk is just as lovely, and I’ve even used soy milk with great results. If flaxseed meal's not in your pantry, chia seeds make a fantastic swap for binding everything together.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to let the batter rest for about 10 minutes before cooking—helps it get nice and fluffy.
- •For extra crispiness, I always give my waffle iron a good preheat while the coffee’s brewing.
- •Leftovers? I pop them in the toaster the next day, and they’re as good as fresh.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I toss in a handful of fresh blueberries for a burst of sweetness.
- •When feeling indulgent, I’ll add a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the waffles; reheat in a toaster or oven when ready to eat.
