Waffles come in all shapes, sizes, AND flavors! Here are 17 different sweet and savory waffle recipes you can try.
Do you prefer waffles or pancakes? Personally, I am a big waffle girly! I remember helping my dad make waffles for breakfast on Saturday mornings as a little girl. Most of the time we just made classic Belgian waffles, but we came up with fun toppings to spice it up.
Some of my favorite flavor combos for waffles are peanut butter and Nutella or strawberries and whipped cream. Or, have you ever had homemade buttermilk syrup? Wow SOO yummy!
Growing up, I realized that waffles are the kind of food that bring people together. They are perfect for any meal of the day. AND they are great for parties, showers, and so many other events. Because of this, I decided to round up 17 different waffle recipes. There’s a waffle for every occasion!
