Editorial Notes

The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

  • For best results, use pure maple syrup and not maple-flavored syrup.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by combining milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.

  • Substitute almond milk for buttermilk for a dairy-free option. This substitution will make the waffles vegan friendly and reduce the amount of saturated fat.
  • Substitute chopped pecans for walnuts for a nutty crunch. This substitution will add an additional layer of flavor to the waffles and can be used as a way to switch up the recipe for different occasions.

Cranberry-Pecan Crunch Waffles Replace the walnuts with pecans and add 1/2 cup of dried cranberries to the batter. Serve with butter, honey, and dried cranberries.



Cinnamon Apple Compote - A delicious compote made with apples, cinnamon, and a touch of maple syrup. Perfect for adding a sweet and spicy flavor to the Maple-Walnut Crunch Waffles, and a great way to get your daily dose of fruit!


Vanilla Greek Yogurt: A creamy and light accompaniment to the Cinnamon Apple Compote, this Vanilla Greek Yogurt is a great way to add a hint of sweetness and a boost of protein. It's the perfect balance to the rich and sweet flavors of the compote.

Enjoyed these for breakfast this morning and what a pleasant Fall Breakfast, making them in the food processor certainly made the process easy. I did had whole walnuts to the batter just for that extra bite. Other than that, made just as directed

Great tasting waffles!! I love the addition of maple syrup that goes right into the batter along with walnuts. We sprinkled walnuts over the top and my husband suggested adding some cranberries to some of the waffles. Super yummy and definitely a keeper. Thank you Mikekey for sharing.

Fun facts:

The first waffle iron was invented in the 14th century by the Dutch. It was called an oublie and was made from two hinged iron plates connected to a long handle. The plates were heated over a fire, and a mixture of flour, eggs, and milk was poured into the top plate before being clamped shut.

The famous actor and comedian, Steve Martin, is a huge fan of waffles and even wrote a song about them called 'King Tut'. The song was released in 1978 and became a top 10 hit in the US.
