Notes

Freezing And Reheating Your Waffles

If you're like me and enjoy having ready-to-heat, homemade meals in the freezer, then this recipe is perfect for you! I usually make 4-6 batches at a time, enjoy a meal fresh, and then freeze the rest!

Bake - Multiply to recipe below for the number of batches you want to make. For a standard waffle iron, this recipe makes 8 waffles. Bake the waffles as normal.
Cool - Lay the waffles out on parchment paper or baking trays so they don't get squished under the weight of the other waffles.
Portion - Once they are fully cooled, portion them into single-meal servings for your family (if possible). For us, that's 6 waffles, which fits well into a 1-gallon Ziploc bag.
Freeze - Place them into your freezer (trying not to squish them!) and let them fully freeze.
Reheat - Place the desired number of waffles directly on the rack in a cold oven. Turn the oven to 375°F AFTER adding the waffles and allow the oven to reach temperature. Once the pre-heat is complete, remove the waffles and enjoy! Note: Heat times may vary by oven, so you may have to remove them early, or leave them in longer.

To Make Toaster Waffles

The process for making and freezing toaster waffles is the same as the process for larger waffles. However, you will need a mini waffle iron. We've had this mini waffle iron for 3 years and use it all the time!

Common Questions

Can I use this recipe to make toaster waffles?

Yes! This is a favorite method around here now, especially since our son is old enough to grab a few waffles from the freezer and heat up a snack! To make toaster waffles, just use a mini waffle iron, we LOVE this mini waffle iron since it makes 4 at a time. Then freeze and reheat in the toaster!

Why are my waffles sticking to the iron?

Waffles may stick to the iron if the plates aren't properly greased or if the batter consistency is too thin. Ensure the iron is adequately greased, and adjust the batter thickness as needed for better results.

How do I keep my waffles warm and crispy until serving time?

To keep waffles warm and crispy, preheat your oven to a low temperature (around 200°F) and place a wire rack on a baking sheet. As you cook the waffles, transfer them to the wire rack in the oven to keep them warm and prevent sogginess.

Can I make waffles ahead of time and freeze them?

Yes, you can make waffles ahead of time and freeze them for later use. Allow the waffles to cool completely, then place them in stacks into an airtight container or zip-top bag and freeze for up to six months. Reheat in a toaster or oven (depending on size) before serving.

Can I use pancake batter to make waffles?

While pancake and waffle batters may seem similar, they're formulated differently to suit their respective cooking methods. Pancake batter tends to be much thicker and may not yield the same crispiness and texture as waffle batter when cooked in a waffle iron. It's best to use a recipe specifically designed for waffles for optimal results!
