Learn how to freeze waffles ahead of time and enjoy a hearty breakfast during the busy mid-week morning rush!Â
How To Freeze Waffles
I bought a new kitchen gadget!
I’m a proud owner of a grown-up waffle maker! The last time I made waffles was when I shared this Breakfast Waffle Sandwich using my Mickey Mouse iron.
I’ve been pining for an update for some time and when I saw a new waffle iron for $20 bucks, I snagged it!
I’ve seen some super creative recipes using other ingredients besides batter that I want to waffle, but none of them are with a face of Mickey.
Plus, sometimes you need more crevices for ingredients like maple syrup to pool into.
Mickey has been so fine, but eating into an ear or cheek sometimes comes with a ting of remorse.
Now I can cut into any section of my waffle with gusto!
I was so excited to put it to good use that I made two batches of waffles.
That’s a lot of waffle eating for just the two of us, so I decided that I should learn how to freeze waffles in batches so we could pop a couple in the toaster or oven for anytime we wanted to eat them.
Tips For Freezing Waffles
Waffles for dinner? Sure! Why not!
There are a couple of tips that I think are helpful.
First, undercook the waffle just a smidgen so that when you reheat the waffles they don’t get too dark before they’re thoroughly warmed. Â
You also want to completely cool the waffles before freezing them.
Once the waffles are frozen they pack up nicely and don’t take up as much room as the bulky boxed ones that you can buy at the grocery store.
I never buy them because they take up my precious freezer space.Â
Plus, as soon as you open the box you better eat them all or they’ll end up with freezer burn!

I love to make a big batch of waffles and then freeze them for easy breakfasts. Great tips!
This is a fantastic idea. We always have waffles on Sunday mornings and the kids love it.
I just love waffles! Period! ^_^
I have thought about doing this. It would be so handy
Two batch of waffles would not be unwelcome here tomorrow morning. My kids love waffles!
Great tip! I love making homemade waffles, but I never thought of freezing them! Such a fabulous idea. I’m going to make a big batch this weekend.
I love using our waffle maker, but I’ve never thought of making them ahead of time and freezing them for later! I love the sound of coconut syrup too! Yum!
I froze a bunch of waffles once. Made for a nice breakfast the rest of the week.
Thanks for showing us how to freeze waffles. This would really save time in the mornng when everyone is running late :).
I never knew you could freeze waffles! thanks!! 🙂 https://sprinkleandglitter.blogspot.com
I freeze mine the same way and I do pancakes too. With just the two of us we were tossing out way too much batter. It’s not possible to mix up batter for 2 waffles. 🙂
When I make waffles, I almost always make a double batch so I can freeze some!
I’ve never even thought about freezing our leftover waffles but I will in the future. I always make way too many. Thanks for sharing.
I love this and your presentation is wonderful.
I totally love homemade waffles! Haven’t had them in ages and thanks for the freezing tips…I had no clue
