These are hands down the best homemade waffles you will ever make. They are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.

The Story Behind The BEST Homemade Waffles

I am a pancake girl through and through. Seriously, if you offer me pancakes it will be terribly hard for me to turn it down. Especially if they are unique in flavor like these Blueberry Danish Pancakes.

My husband and kids on the other hand, are huge fans of waffles. In fact, one of my kids eat a waffle with Nutella on it every morning. For years I have tried to love them, but I just don’t. Instead, I always leave my empty plate regretting my breakfast choice.

For some reason, I knew there had to be a waffle recipe out that I could learn to love. For the past year, I have searched high and low for the perfect waffle recipe, but never found it. They were either too sweet, too chewy, or too tough.

However, I found a great base recipe over at Preppy Kitchen. It had rave reviews, but it just wasn’t the perfect recipe for me. I found it was too runny and need quite a bit more flour. With a few changes, I present you the BEST waffle recipe. Seriously, though, it’s really the best and will become a new favorite at your house.

Not only do these make your house smell amazing, but the taste so incredible. In fact, one of my children threw a fit one Saturday morning that I was making these and insisted I made my Light and Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes instead. After one bite, however, he was sold and wound up eating two entire waffles. They are huge!

F.A.Q.S for The BEST Homemade Waffles

Can I use muffins liners?

Yes! I prefer to bake muffins without them, but you can definitely use them.

Can I freeze these?

Absolutely! I would suggest freezing them individually wrapped in plastic wrap and thawing them unwrapped.

How should I store these?

These stay great on the counter for 2-3 days as long as they are covered.

What type of waffle maker should I use?

I used a large Belgium waffle maker. However, you can use whichever waffle maker you have at home. Just adjust the amount of batter accordingly so it’s not overflowing.

Can I substitute the butter for oil?

I have found the using butter in the waffle batter produces the best tasting waffle. Not only does it taste great, but the texture is also fluffier. However, if you are in a pinch, you can substitute vegetable oil.
