Recipe Tips

Try crunchy peanut butter (or another nut butter), chocolate chips, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and sliced almonds. You can add a little whipped cream for a special treat!

You can also add a scoop of protein powder for a healthy breakfast to fuel your busy week.

Unlike pancakes, you shouldn’t stack the waffles on top of each other as you wait for them all to be made. The heat and steam from them will cause the crispy exterior to be soft if you stack them. You can keep them warm in the oven while you wait for them to all finish cooking.

When you whip the egg whites and gently fold them into your batter, it helps keep your waffles fluffy. When folding in the eggs, be careful not to deflate them.

When you whip your egg whites, make sure your bowl is bone-dry. Moisture in the bowl will prevent your egg whites from foaming up.
