Cookings Tips: How To Freeze Waffles (Apple Waffles)

Lately I seem to be sharing breakfast recipes. It has been so busy and weekend mornings have been my time in the kitchen. Until last night when I cooked the first recipe from a much anticipated cooked…but more about that tomorrow! I loved Eggo Waffles growing up. I’d pop one in the toaster for breakfast. These days I make my own frozen waffles because they taste so much better and are very cost effective

Apples are everywhere right now so I thought “how good would they be in a waffle?” Very good it turns out. Even better when you sauteed a few apples in sugar and butter and place them on top of a mound of whipped cream.

I have started making my waffles with the egg whites beaten and then folded in. This creates a lighter waffle.

After you make waffles for your family keep making the waffles until the batter is gone. Then lay them on a sheet and place them in the freezer for 15 minutes. Take them out and either stack them, placing a sheet of parchment paper in between and place in a large ziplock bag. Make sure to get all the air out of the bag. Place in the freezer until you are ready to pop them in a toaster. You can also individually place them in ziplock bags.

When my niece and nephews come over I can just pop them in the toaster or heat in a oven preheated to 350.
