HOW TO STORE AND REHEAT COOKED WAFFLES

In the refrigerator: You can store cooked waffles in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.

In the freezer: You can store cooked waffles in the freezer for 2-3 months. Prior to freezing, make sure to cool your waffles completely and then place cooled waffles into a ziplock bag or freezer safe container. Placing a piece of parchment paper between the waffles will help them from sticking together.

How to reheat: Reheat refrigerated or frozen waffles in a toaster, toaster oven, or microwave.

FAQs

Is this a refined sugar free waffle recipe ? Yes! These whole wheat waffles are sweetened with pure maple syrup and unsweetened applesauce. If you are concerned about refined sugars, you’ll just need to confirm your topping selections are in line with your goals too.

Can I make this into a dairy free waffle recipe? Yes you can! To do so, you will need to use a dairy-free milk like almond milk or oat milk. You will also need to substitute the butter. One option is to swap the butter with a vegan butter in a 1-to-1 ratio. You can also use vegetable oil or canola oil. To do so, use ¾ the amount of butter specified in the recipe (in this recipe, you would use 3 tablespoons of oil).

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

You will need a waffle maker to make homemade waffles.
