Notes
Recipe Notes:
- I made these waffles in my mini waffle iron but you can use a regular waffle iron instead.
- To-store: make sure the waffles are completely cooled then place them in an airtight container or large ziplock bag. Store for up to 2-3 days. To warm, place waffles in the toaster to reheat and get crispy.
- To freeze and make-ahead: I always recommend making a batch and freezing them so you always have waffles ready to go. After you make a batch of waffles, let them cool completely then wrap each individually with plastic wrap. Place wrapped waffles in an airtight container or large ziplock bag. They will last up to 3 months.
- To Reheat: Reheat by placing the frozen waffles in the toaster to defrost and heat until warm and crispy. It's that easy!
- Add 2-4 tablespoons of honey or pure maple syrup if you want to add more sweetness since theres zero refined sugar.
