Big Fluffy Waffles
“Forget about pre-made waffle mixes, these fluffy waffles are easy to make and so yummy. They're made with ingredients you probably have in your kitchen already. With a hint of cinnamon, they are crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. It's a basic recipe that will go great with whatever toppings your family likes. From syrup to fruit or chocolate chips, have fun when serving the waffles. Do not be concerned about the amount of baking powder in this recipe. It really makes for a nice fluffy waffle. These are going to regularly be on your weekend menu.” - Kitchen Crew
Double Chocolate Chip Waffles with Chocolate Cream
“Double Chocolate Chip Waffles with Chocolate Cream are slightly crispy on the outside with a tender inside. A double dose of chocolate makes them rich without being over sweet.” - Paula
Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles With Blueberry Sauce
“Homemade waffles are an easy breakfast. These lemon poppy seed ones with a simple blueberry sauce on top are amazing. The waffles themselves are slightly lemony. Just enough to give them a fresh flavor. They're perfectly crisp on the outside, light and airy on the inside. The blueberry sauce is thick, sweet and full of berries. It's almost like a blueberry pie filling that is spooned on top of the waffles. This breakfast recipe is simple to throw together and has a beautiful presentation. We added a few extra fresh berries and a little whipped cream too. So good!” - Kitchen Crew
Blue Ribbon Apple Fritter Waffles with Caramel Sauce
“Apple slices are cooked in butter then added to waffles to give these Blue Ribbon Apple Fritter Waffles with Caramel Sauce a pop of flavor.” - Paula
Waffle Breakfast Sandwich
“These breakfast sandwiches were a big hit in the Test Kitchen. They have the perfect balance of savory and sweet. In our mind, putting an egg on any sandwich and it's an instant winner. We love the basic bacon, egg and Swiss cheese flavor combination. Dipping the sandwich into syrup was so good and created a sweet/salty flavor profile. The sandwich is just as good without the syrup too. Perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, the waffle makes a great base for this yummy breakfast sammie.” - Kitchen Crew
Yeast Waffle With Fresh Strawberry Rum Syrup
“These waffles are different than any waffle we've had. They are dough like and you have to spread the batter into your waffle iron, rather than it easily pouring. Nice and hearty, they have a heavier texture than a regular waffle and puff up perfectly. They're tasty alone, but the strawberry syrup is divine. The rum flavor is very slight and gives the finished product a robust flavor. Paired with the strawberry puree and lemon zest, it's heavenly. These definitely take a bit of time, but the end result is delicious and impressive.” - Kitchen Crew
Chicken and Waffles
“I love dishes that can be eaten at any time of the day like chicken and waffles. The whipped cinnamon vanilla butter gives this dish a special touch. If you have a difficult time deciding whether you want something savory or sweet, then this is the perfect recipe for you. Enjoy!” - Adriana
Carrot Cake Waffles with Cream Cheese Butter
“These waffles are satisfying and delicious. I actually made them three weekends in a row! We have decided that these waffles are good for any meal of the day! The first time we had them for breakfast, the next weekend I made them for brunch with the kids and the third time, well we had them for dessert. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect accompaniment for these waffles, but if that isn't enough, feel free to top it with syrup also.” - Mangialicious
Irish Belgian Waffles
“These are quite the hit at breakfast! You can add any fruit to the top, but if you want to go green top with kiwi! Great for any holiday - just add the fruit that fits the color.” - Janet
Chicken and Potato Waffles
“A great spin on traditional chicken and waffles recipe. We loved the savory potato waffles. They are unique and delicious! The brine really tenderizes and adds great flavor to the fried chicken. We opted for beer in the brine, but next time we want to try with the ginger ale for added sweetness. We topped off our chicken and waffles with some maple syrup ... yummy.” - Kitchen Crew
Banana Walnut Waffles
“Made these fluffy waffles today! My bananas weren't overripe but I just had to have waffles for breakfast. My son enjoyed his plain and I had mine with extra bananas & maple syrup! Really delicious, Blue Ribbon worthy!” - Maria
