- For best results, use room temperature eggs.
- If you don't have all-purpose flour, you can use self-rising flour instead.
- Replace all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour - this substitution will add more fiber and nutrients to the waffles, making them a healthier option.
- Replace butter with olive oil - this substitution will reduce the amount of saturated fat in the waffles, making them a better choice for those looking to eat a healthier diet.
Banana Waffles Add 1/2 cup mashed banana to the batter and reduce the milk to 1 cup. Bake on waffle iron as usual.
