Waffles are a big hit around here, especially on the weekends. We have some mini waffle irons and Elle LOVES having her own mini waffles.

Yes, I said “some.” We have more than one and I’m not ashamed to admit it!

We have a mini waffle maker that makes standard circle-shaped waffles, but we also have a mini waffle-stick maker. Elle is obsessed with the mini waffle sticks.

I usually whip up a batch of bisquick waffles, but sometimes I want to make from-scratch, homemade waffles. And when I do, this is the recipe I use because it’s the very best.

If you’re looking for waffles that are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with the perfect amount of vanilla flavor to them, this is the recipe for you.

If you have kids, you probably know that mini stuff is always a hit.

We love kid-sized kitchen utensils, gardening tools, small tables and chairs, you name it. But the most popular mini item in my house now that Elle is a bit older?

Our mini waffle makers.

Yes, I said waffle makers – plural. We have a few and I’m not ashamed to admit it!

I have something to tell you, and you might not want to hear it. Only six Fridays until Santa comes down the chimney. SIX. Me? I’m totally stoked by that fact. But I know there are lots of people that just started panicking that Christmas is right around the corner.

I’m here to save the day. Really. No one’s gonna care that they got re-gifted a candle that you didn’t love the scent of, when they’ve got these Chocolate Eggnog Waffles piled high in front of them, dolloped with whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. I swear.

Can we talk about Snapchat for a moment? I don’t know if it’s the fact that I’m in my thirties, or that I simply hate change, but I just can’t get on board with this popular social media app.

This is more than likely due to the fact that I can’t figure it out because I have zero patience, plus I’m not a big fan of looking at that little ghost. It’s like a cute, innocent Halloween emoji, but this app seems anything but innocent. Plus, it just makes me think of Halloween, and it’s not Halloween on my phone 24/7. That just makes me twitch.

I like to sleep, quite frankly it’s one of my favorite hobbies, but unfortunately I don’t get much of it during the week. So when the weekend hits, I am all about getting my sleep on…yep, sleeping in and making waffles!

My dad gave me this Waring Pro Waffle Iron last year and it sat unused for a couple of months. However, once I pulled it out of the box, I was in love and addicted to making waffles! I think part of the addiction stems from the fact that I thoroughly enjoy the flipping mechanism on this machine, plus the timer makes the waffles foolproof! What can I say…I have a habit of burning toast, so I am all about timers!

Making homemade waffles is simple and only requires a handful of ingredients. Once you find your go-to waffle recipe, you can experiment with a variety of ingredients. Anything from chocolate chips to bananas can be tossed into the batter to make plain waffles go from ordinary to extraordinary. Last Sunday, I whipped together these Maple Chip Waffles for a hungry crowd. I cooked them up until they were crisp and slathered them with butter and pure maple syrup. They were the perfect Sunday morning breakfast served alongside some crispy bacon and piping hot coffee. If you are staring at the photos in search of maple chips, you are not going nuts, they all just kinda sink to the bottom of the waffle and are not all that visible in the photos! They are there, I promise!

This Sunday, we are attempting homemade doughnuts, I will definitely report back on this adventure…that is unless I burn down my house because me+frying= a hot mess! Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!

Six out of seven days a week I wake up completely content to start my morning with an iced coffee and no breakfast. Most of the time I eat a light breakfast because I know I should, not because I actually have a feeling of hunger.

However, there is something about Sunday mornings that make me ravenous and want to consume a morning meal chock full of eggs, bacon and waffles.

I love waffles. There is something about the crisp texture and the way syrup pools within the waffle divots that makes me a very happy girl. My dad gave me a Waring Pro Waffle Maker that I became completely obsessed with it… for about a minute.

The novelty wore off and I put in the cupboard for about three months. However, I pulled in out last week and rekindled my love affair with this fantastic appliance by making vanilla bean waffles with homemade blueberry sauce.

I like my waffles kind of well done, so I crank up the number on my waffle iron to 4 to ensure a nice crispy exterior. These waffles were absolutely delicious; perfect crisp texture with a heavenly vanilla scent and flavor.
These were deliciously addictive with both maple syrup or the homemade blueberry sauce. Have a fabulous weekend and I hope I sparked a craving for some waffles!

Vanilla Bean Waffles

Print Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Waffles

2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Beanilla vanilla paste

For the Blueberry Sauce

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Directions:

For the Waffles

1. Preheat waffle iron. Beat eggs in large bowl with hand beater until fluffy. Beat in flour, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla bean paste, just until smooth.

2. Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. Serve hot.

For the Blueberry Sauce

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup of water, orange juice, and sugar. Stir gently, and bring to a boil.

2. In a cup or small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water. Gently stir the cornstarch mixture into the blueberries so as not to mash the berries. Simmer gently until thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the almond extract. Thin sauce with water if it is too thick for your liking.

Notes:

- I found the orange to be a very prominent flavor in the blueberry sauce. When I make this again, I will cut back on that flavor.

- both recipes adapted from allrecipes
