And I was like … yummmm this stuff is really good!!! Then I regularly started visiting that café only for eating waffles.

Frequently asked questions –

What’s the difference between Belgian waffles and regular waffles?

Belgian waffles are thicker than regular waffles. They have deeper pockets and are lighter in texture than the regular normal waffles. Belgian waffles are traditionally made using yeast which lends an airy and crispy texture to them. This crispiness can be achieved using baking powder too. My recipe uses baking powder to make crispy waffles.

What can you use instead of eggs in waffles?

Truly speaking … NOTHING . You just leave the eggs out. You can use applesauce, bananas or flaxseed meal if you like to but not needed. My recipe has enough baking powder that does the trick. And there is no funny after taste. It tastes exactly like Classic Vanilla waffles with eggs.

How do you make waffles without eggs?

Can you make pancakes with waffle batter?

In my experience waffle batter has more added fat like butter or oil to make them crispy and have more leavening agent than what is required for pancakes. If you do not have a waffle maker and want to make pancakes with this batter, I have some minor alterations mentioned in the recipe notes for you. And sure, you can make pancakes with waffle batter and vice versa.

How to make healthy waffles ?

• Substitute All purpose flour aka maida with whole wheat flour and oats 80 : 20 ratio. Only whole wheat flour will make waffles dense.
• Adjust liquid accordingly for the consistency of the batter. Substitute sugar with coconut sugar, agave or if you consume honey then feel free to use.
• Top it with fruits and nuts and some sweetened yogurt drizzle

How to make waffles without a waffle maker?

Waffles without a waffle maker won’t give you the same experience.

You can still enjoy it in form of pancakes or make them on a grill pan. The look and texture won’t be same as a waffle.

You may even bake waffles in your oven using silicone molds. They really work well and doesn’t take much space in your kitchen like a waffle maker does. So you may consider buying the waffle maker molds.

What is the best waffle maker to buy?

I have a Cuisinart griddler. It has these waffle attachments . I am very happy with the quality of Belgian waffles it makes. You may use waffle iron of your choice.

Can you freeze waffles?

Yes absolutely. I do it all the time with leftover waffles. I wrap each waffle individually in a cling wrap twice and then slip them into freezer safe plastic bags taking out as much air I can. Then place them in the freezer and use as needed.

To defrost I simply take out the waffles from the bag and cling wrap. Let it thaw at room temperature for 10 minutes then pop them into the toaster and warm it. You may warm the waffles both sides on low heat on a griddle too.
