Freezer-Friendly Waffles

These are the easiest milk-free & egg-free waffles ever!

They just take water and freeze exceptionally well.

We also have a helpful gluten-free tip from a reader, too.

See the basic waffle recipe below!

Nothing says Saturday mornings like homemade waffles for breakfast.

And years ago, I decided milk and egg allergies wouldn't keep us from this fun weekend tradition.

In fact, this recipe doesn't even call for milk or egg replacers. It's that easy.

Crazy as it sounds, these waffles use just water instead of milk.

They have a perfect taste of vanilla, one mama suggested they taste like ice cream cones. 

We will take it! 

This simple recipe is also perfect for making waffles ahead of time.

Double or triple the recipe and refrigerate the waffles for a few days. 

Or freeze these waffles for weeks. 

Either way, these waffles reheat well.

Busy moms love this easy breakfast hack!

WAFFLE REVIEWS

"Spent a snowy afternoon in upstate NY making Jamie Kaufmann's allergy free freezer waffles. They are a staple in our home." MAM Member

"I made these during our quarantine during Covid 19 due to lack of milk and eggs and also a dead refrigerator. These came out very tasty. If you didn’t tell anyone that they are vegan no one would ever guess." MAM Reader

"I was a bit skeptical at first since all of the (other) recipes I had tried were gummy or didn’t taste good! Amazing recipe! Glad I can make waffles again without eggs and milk!" MAM Reader

GLUTEN-FREE TIP

"I make ours with gf flour. I let it sit about 10 min after mixing and they’re perfect every time!" MAM Member

HOW TO FREEZE WAFFLES

Here's how we freeze our waffles for later:

• double or triple the recipe
• cook the waffles
• let waffles cool on a rack
• move rack to freezer to flash freeze
• place waffles in airtight containers or freezer bags
• label with the date
• store in the freezer

HOW TO REHEAT WAFFLES

Here's how we reheat our waffles on busy mornings:

• if frozen, set out frozen waffle(s) for about 15 minutes
• microwave until heated through, 30 seconds at a time
• then toast the warm waffles to crisp them up

BEST WAFFLE IRON

After a decade, my husband finally replaced our first waffle iron.

Here's our new ceramic coated non-stick waffle iron (affiliate).

It makes thick and crispy waffles just like we love them.

Highly recommend.
