Ingredients to Gather

You only need a few simple ingredients to make these delicious homemade waffles!

• Bisquick. I always have Bisquick in my pantry whether it is store bought Bisquick or homemade Bisquick. You can make Bisquick cinnamon rolls, Bisquick zucchini casserole, and even funnel cake with pancake mix! You can use whole wheat baking mix too.
• Milk. Whole milk, 2%, or even skim milk will work here.
• Eggs. To keep the delicious waffles from falling apart. The eggs add fat and structure to the waffles.
• Oil. Oil is one of the big differences between waffles and pancakes. The oil helps give the waffles that beautiful crust when it comes out of the waffle iron.
• Vanilla Extract. For some added flavor to the waffle batter.

Substitutions and Variations

• Almond milk, soy milk, or your favorite nondairy milk will work in these crispy waffles. If you don't have any of those, water is a great option too.
• Add mashed bananas or applesauce to the waffle batter to add a little more nutrition. I love mixing in fruits and veggies to my recipes to sneak it into my kid's diets.
• Add some mix ins to the waffle batter. Chocolate chips, blueberries, even a swirl of peanut butter would all be delicious in this recipe. During the Fall, pureed pumpkin is a great option to make pumpkin waffles with pancake mix.
• Avocado oil, coconut oil, or canola oil are all good options to add to the waffle batter if you don't have vegetable oil.

How To Make Bisquick Waffles

Tips and Tricks

• Make sure add the waffle batter to a hot waffle iron, one that is fully preheated. This will make sure your waffles are nice and crisp.
• If your waffle maker does not have a light that lets your know when the waffles are done, it's time to take your waffles out of the waffle iron when steam starts coming out of the iron.
• Do not open the waffle maker once you close it. To get the crispy waffles, it's important that the waffles remain untouched until fully cooked.
• If you are making a lot of waffles, make them and place them on a wire rack after they are done cooking. Keep them in a preheated oven, low heat to keep them warm.
• Be very careful when taking the hot waffles out of the waffle iron.

Make Ahead Instructions

Making the batter ahead of time. To make the batter ahead of time, mix all the ingredients together and then place it in an airtight container. The batter can be kept in the refrigerator up to 24 hours. If the batter is too thick after being in the refrigerator, simply add a few tablespoons of milk to thin out the waffles.

Making the Bisquick waffles ahead of time. The waffles can be kept in the refrigerator once they are cooled to room temperature. Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator up to 4 days. To reheat the waffles, place the in the toaster oven in a single layer for 1-2 minutes until they are warm and crispy. You can also reheat them in the oven on a baking sheet for 5-8 minutes.

How To Freeze Bisquick Waffles

To freeze the waffles, allow the leftover waffles to cool to room temperature. Then wrap the waffles in plastic wrap and place them in a gallon zip-top freezer bag. They can be frozen for 3 months. To reheat, place the frozen waffles in the toaster oven. Toast them for 2 minutes or until completely thawed.

You can also reheat the Belgian waffles on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven and bake for 5-8 minutes at 300 degrees F. The air fryer would work to crisp up the waffles too!

What To Serve with Bisquick Waffles

• The classic! Maple syrup and butter.
• Fresh fruit like raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries.
• With a homemade pancake syrup like blueberry pancake syrup.
• Make them savory! These fluffy waffles are perfect for dinner too! Top them with your favorite fried chicken, a little melted butter, and some maple syrup. Yum!
• Make them a dessert! Add a scoop of ice cream and top it with sprinkles, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream.
