Variations & swaps
Easy Variations
- Add cinnamon: Stir in the optional teaspoon for a warmer flavor.
- Use whole wheat flour: The recipe already allows it, and it gives the waffles a heartier texture.
- Top them differently: Try peanut butter, fresh fruit, yogurt, or a dusting of finishing sugar. If you want fun topping ideas, Copycat McCormick Finishing Sugars are an easy pantry project.
