Extra water, oil, and sugar will ensure that the waffle becomes crisp and brown on the outside while it stays fluffy on the inside. If you’d like to double the recipe (to make one dozen waffles), just double all of the ingredients.

Don’t worry if the batter is still a little lumpy. You want to avoid over beating it or the waffles will be tough.

Cooking time will depend on your specific waffle iron. Most waffles will cook within two to four minutes.

Mini-chocolate chips Toasted nuts Shredded coconut Peanut butter or chocolate hazelnut spread

Mashed bananas Pureed, spiced pumpkin Grated apples Fresh or frozen berries

For example, make cheesy waffles and top them with fried chicken. Or make a crumbled bacon and herb waffle that you top with a fried egg.
