My husband grew up on these waffles. We were given a waffle maker for our wedding and used to make these waffles all the time together. Now when we make them we TRIPLE the recipe. The leftovers keep well for later. They are super easy to reheat in the microwave or toaster.
This is one of the best Myrna Ritz Approved recipes.
Also, who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner?
If you don’t have a waffle maker, get one ASAP! This one I use only costs $20 and works fantastic! We love it!

Start by separating the eggs into yolks and whites. Then measure the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl.
Mix the yolks into the dry ingredients, then add in the milk and oil. I use electric beaters or a hand blender till it looks like a thin cake batter.
Next, whip the egg whites till stiff and fluffy. I use electric beaters.
Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter so the whites don’t break up. Expect the batter to double in volume. Use a larger bowl if needed.
Our favorite toppings –
- Butter & Syrup
- Nut butters such as peanut, almond and hazelnut
- Good jam or jelly
- Fresh fruit or berries
- Whipped cream
My personal favorite is some good Almond or Peanut Butter topped off with some homemade jam. It’s a delicious PB&J on some yummy whole wheat. It is very satisfying.
