Last week on Instagram I shared a picture of these delicious waffles and promised you the recipe. My kids have requested them twice since then, i.e. they are absolutely a hit in my house!
This recipe was literally a product of necessity. We’ve had such a fun and busy summer that I woke up one morning and realized we had no milk, eggs, or butter in the house. And, of course, my breakfast freezer stock was gone. There was no way I was loading all 4 kids in the car to run to the grocery store, so I got to work on a waffle recipe using only ingredients I did have.
I’m so glad I’m a terrible grocery shopper because these waffles are our new favorites! I hope you love them too!

I just made these and they are delicious and easy to make! I even felt a little bit indulgent as I ate them. I didn’t butter them, just put 1/2 T of pure maple syrup on. I followed the recipe exactly and used melted coconut oil to “grease” my waffle iron. They are a bit heavy but moist. My waffle iron made 1/2 as many squares as the recipe said (which may be why they seemed a little heavy, they were pretty big squares), so I had to half the waffle for 1 serving.
