The Best Waffle Recipe

Yes, this is one of my best waffle recipes. Oh, I have more that might interest you! My easy biscuit waffles are just that. So dang easy because you’re going to use refrigerated and/or previously frozen biscuits. You, of course, can make your biscuits from scratch, but this recipe was really created for my young grandsons, so they could have the sense of making their very own waffles. 

Waffle Ideas

Other waffle ideas for you. My fabulously delicious and Paris inspired pearl sugar waffles! OMG, to die for. And, they can be used as a dessert waffle, too!

If you want something a little more decadent, then try the carrot cake waffles! 

Best Homemade Waffles

For me, the best homemade waffles begin with the base dry and wet ingredients, then you add from there to create a masterpiece.

And, this recipe, inspired by a cooking competition sponsored by Chefs Roll and Ritz Crackers, was really fun to create.

While I didn’t win, these waffles did make it to the Top 10 finalists and I was competing with the likes of Justin Dallas Gaspar,  S1 E8 winner on Hulu’s Baker’s Dozen,   Pastry Chef Avery Gates of AveryBakedBuns, Joshua Gaulin Executive Pastry Chef Four Seasons Napa Valley,  Lauren Katz, Executive Chef and winner of ABC’S ‘The Great American Baking Show’ and more! 

Yes, I was in very spectacular company and was just thrilled to be in the top 10! 

Coconut Waffles

Now I love coconut. And, if you just put in the search box in my website ‘coconut’, you’re going to find some unique recipes. Both sweet and savory, coconut and different kinds of coconut, milk, sugar, shredded, flakes, yogurt, etc., are delicious to create. 

Coconut Waffles Recipe

I’m using as much coconut as I can in this recipe. Coconut sugar. Coconut oil. Coconut milk. Shredded coconut.

While I opted for regular flour, you could use coconut flour, too. 

Easy Coconut Waffles

These are really easy coconut waffles to make. And, you can freeze them. 

The Ritz crackers in the batter and as a crumbly topping add a buttery and crunchy texture that makes the flavors delicious! 

Vietnamese Coconut Waffles Recipe

Yes, this recipe can be adapted very simply to be a Vietnamese waffle. 

What you’ll need to add is pandan. What is pandan? Well, it’s like the Asian version of vanilla, only it’s green in color. Therefore, the waffles will have a green hue. 

Made from pandan leaves, you can use this flavoring in both sweet and savory dishes and in drinks. It’s got a sweet grassy fragrant aroma. In English, pandan can mean fragrant screwpine or vanilla grass. 

Pandan, which is a type of screwpine, is essential in Asian cooking. 

Coconut Milk Waffles

These easy ritzy coconut waffles are coconutEEEE in every way. And, if you want to carry the coconut them to the syrup, then here you go! Pantry items including coconut syrup that you can order from Amazon

Shredded Coconut Waffles

There’s nothing better with these sweet ritzy coconut waffles than chicken tenders! Yes, chicken ‘n waffles, a truly Southern delicacy, is something that you can be serving your family. Take a look at my buttermilk spicy chicken tenders and serve with these waffles!

Coconut Oil Waffles

Coconut oil. Why use it in these waffles. Well, it carries out the coconut theme of the waffles. 

And, some studies indicate that coconut oil is healthier than using butter or vegetable oil. I actually saw no difference in the quality of the finished waffle using the coconut oil! And, I had a tad bit less guilt in eating them!
