Notes
- Replace whole eggs with 1/3 cup egg whites to lower fat and calories.
- Use dairy-free yogurt to make waffles dairy-free.
- Add chocolate chips, berries, or chopped nuts to the batter for variety.
- Store cooked waffles in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat waffles in a toaster or toaster oven straight from the fridge or freezer for best texture.
