I’m not sure where or when I started making this yummy breakfast. But, it is one of our favorites. We usually wrap up the week by having waffles on Friday mornings.
My favorite way to serve it is with whipped cream and berries. It’s probably more worthy of a weekend morning, but works for me on Fridays. Kinda makes the last day of a school week a mini celebration.
I vary the waffle recipe, but here’s a great one:
Homemade Waffles
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 Tablespooon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
4 eggs
1 cup oilMix ingredients in the order listed and bake in waffle iron. Serve with butter and maple syrup or freshly whipped cream and berries. (We use frozen berries most of the time. But, fresh is great!)
Quick Cuts:
- If you’re not in the mood to mix up these from scratch every time, prepare a bunch of homemade mixes at one time.
- Don’t keep buttermilk on hand? You can easily prepare a substitute. Pour one Tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar into a one-cup measure. Add milk to fill the measuring cup. Allow to sit for five minutes. Use in place of 1 cup buttermilk.

Wish I was with you guys eating them. Yum! Bust out the vanilla bean ice cream!
we love waffles, we eat ours with sour cream and strawberry jelly! can’t think of a better breakfast.
We are totally addicted to this recipe of yours. When are you publishing your full and unabridged cookbook? STill loving your ebook, but I’m ready for another. I’m so glad you gave a reminder about preparing a bunch at once. We have company coming and I can do this ahead of time to save a little kitchen time. Thanks!
About how many waffles does this make?
@Stephenie, it depends on the size of your waffle maker. I’m going to say about 8 in the small, round Belgian waffler size.
Please help! I have 4 kids who must all be going through growth spurts! How do you feed your 6 hungry kids waffles? Multiple makers? Certain brand of waffle maker? We eat as a family, but I’m over in the kitchen while everybody eats. My old waffle maker that broke took 5 min per waffle. Do you make them ahead? Help! I knew you would have the answer.
I feel your pain. Recently I bought this Cuisinart waffler and it has transformed our waffle eating. It makes ginormous waffles that can quickly feed my kids. I freeze the leftovers.
Love that I have stumbled on this site!! This recipe has many eggs in it, so I am wondering if you have prepared it eggless and how that was best achieved. Thanks! My son also has an egg allergy, so I make waffles in batches and freeze them, so he can pop them in the toaster in the morning before school. I’ve been meaning to find a recipe that would let me ditch the mix!!
I don’t think I’ve made this since she was diagnosed. But, per the doctor’s instructions, I do let her have baked goods with some eggs in them and she seems to be fine. I also have substituted flax seed meal for the eggs in pancakes before.
