Love breakfast? Then you have to make this light, fluffy and absolutely delicious Belgian Waffle Recipe! Easy to whip up and serves a whole family.
I love waffles, I really do! I think they are fun, tasty and such a delicious breakfast recipe. You know when you go to the hotels and they have those waffle makers, yeah I’m always going there.
I used to never be a huge breakfast person and mainly just stuck to my coffee but then I got smart and realized that it is one of the most important meals of the day.
So we started making it regularly around here, mainly on weekends but on weekdays we make sure we at least get something in our stomaches before starting our day.
This Belgian Waffle Recipe is one of my favorites. I have had a waffle maker since we got married about 14 years ago and it has gotten so much use.
My kids absolutely love waffles so we have made a variety in the past, but traditional Belgian Waffles have always been one of our favorite recipes.
Next to waffles comes pancakes, oh don’t even get me started on pancakes. Those are another addiction of mine, I can’t get enough. Breakfast food is just so good.
I love both sweet and savory breakfast or a mix of both. So I’m not on one side or another in that aspect other then that I do like my carb filled breakfast meals.
Some of our other favorite waffles that we have on our site include Banana Split Waffles and Black Forrest Waffles, I know I need to get more up on the site but they get eaten so fast!
