Waffles, yes please!

I love breakfast food! Who doesn't? I can seriously eat breakfast for any meal of the day. We often have breakfast for dinner because I always have the ingredients on hand and it doesn't take very long to cook.

Waffles and pancakes are a staple in my freezer. No, I don't go out and buy the ego brand. Those aren't real. I make my own and freeze them. They take little time to mix and cook, so why not make your own? I'm going to give you 2 recipes for 2 completely different tasting waffles that you just HAVE to try!

CHOCOLATE WAFFLES
  1. 1 1/2 cups flour
  2. 2 tsp. baking flour
  3. 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  4. 1/2 tsp. salt
  5. 1/2 cup sugar
  6. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  7. 1 cup milk
  8. 2 eggs
  9. 1 tsp. vanilla
  10. 4 tablespoons melted butter

Stir all your dry ingredients together in a bowl. Next mix your butter, vanilla, eggs, and milk together. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is combined (don't over stir). Once your waffle iron is heated, spray with a non-stick spray and pour 1/3 cup of batter in. Remember not to open up your waffle iron while cooking these. Trust the light on the outside that lets you know when it's done.

OATMEAL WAFFLES

  1. 1 1/2 cups flour
  2. 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  3. 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  4. 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  5. 1/4 tsp. salt
  6. 2 eggs
  7. 1 1/2 cups milk
  8. 6 Tablespoons melted butter
  9. 2 Tablespoons brown sugar

Stir flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. In another bowl slightly beat 2 eggs and milk, butter, and brown sugar then stir. Add to dry ingredients and stir until blended (don't over stir). Pour 1/3 cup batter onto your preheated waffle iron that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Again, don't open the waffle iron, trust the light on top.

Both waffles are amazing and they fill you up, unlike store-bought waffles. All I do to store them in the freezer is let them cool completely, then I layer them in a freezer bag with wax paper (or parchment paper) so they don't stick together in the freezer. No need to thaw before throwing them in the microwave for 45 seconds or your toaster oven.
