The Best Homemade Waffles to Make & Freeze
Here’s a quick homemade breakfast idea for busy weekday mornings!
Consider making a batch of the best waffles with this recipe, freezing them, and then quickly popping them in the toaster whenever you’re in the mood for a warm homemade waffle. This is such a smart make-ahead breakfast strategy that actually works perfectly!
Easy breakfast recipes are the BEST kind, and this one is a winner!
Not only are these waffles great tasting, but they are also healthier and less expensive than their store bought counterpart! Plus, it takes just a few simple pantry ingredients you may already have on hand to make delicious waffles.
Hip Tip: Don’t have a waffle iron? Use your favorite pancake recipe instead and freeze! In case you’re in the market for one, I do love my Cuisinart waffle maker as it’s easy to use and makes perfect waffles!

Tips For Freezing Waffles:
- I like to double this recipe and freeze waffles flat on a cookie sheet for a couple hours. Then, transfer the waffles to a freezer bag and use parchment paper between each layer to avoid waffles from sticking.
- To remove any excess air in freezer bag, just insert a straw into the freezer bag after filling bag with waffles, close bag around straw, and suck out the air.
- If you have a food saver type of machine, this would be a great way to use it to seal and freeze waffles!
- Waffles should stay good for up to a few months. To reheat, just pop a frozen waffle into the toaster.
