Notes

  • For a sweeter waffle, add 1 tablespoon of sweetener like maple syrup or stevia to the batter.
  • If the batter seems too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk or water until you reach a pourable consistency.
  • These waffles freeze well; cool completely before placing them in an airtight container.
