19 Wonderful Waffle Recipes

Are you the pancake pursuer at breakfast buffets, or do you go “woo-hoo” for waffles? If you are the latter, you’re in good company with this fantastic list of 19 wonderful waffle recipes.

We’ve curated this delicious collection of sweet and savory waffles, including mochi, bbq pulled pork, and authentic liege Belgian waffles.

So, are you ready to go on this mouthwatering journey with us?

Let’s dive in!

Mochi Waffles

In my estimation, the best waffles have a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. However, these mochi waffles from Angela of The Short Order Cook make use of Mochiko-glutinous rice flour. The result, crispy on the outside and chewy inside, could become your new breakfast obsession.

Honey Beer BBQ Chicken and Waffles

So here’s a break from the norm. It’s Erica’s Recipes‘ unique take on chicken and waffles. Only this time, the creative cook has us in a frenzy with beer-marinated bbq chicken on top of a fluffy waffle. Finally, you have a flavorsome buttermilk ranch and a drizzle of honey to round it out.

Birthday Cake Waffles

The simple addition of sprinkles in the batter makes for an irresistibly festive presentation. So here’s a promise: The lucky birthday boy or girl won’t be able to help but smile.

BBQ Pulled Pork Savory Waffles

This bbq pulled pork savory waffles recipe from Amy + Jack of Pressure Cooking Recipes is a mouthwatering dinner or snack that will be remembered. Like the best waffles, the texture is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. But here’s where it gets interesting.

Banana Chocolate Chip Waffles

Butter Tart Waffles

If your Christmas morning breakfast needs a changeup, you’ll want to check out these butter tart waffles (a riff on Canadian butter tarts) from Terri of Food Meanderings. But what the heck is it? Well, it starts with light and fluffy raisin butter waffles and ends with wicked good butter tart sauce: a caramelly brown sugar, vinegar, and cream concoction.

Chocolate Waffles

If you’re anything like Food Meanderings’ Terri, you’ll think, “I could have been eating chocolate waffles this entire time…” Yeah, I hate to break it to you! And with a swap that sees you replace some of the flour with cocoa powder, they are easy to make.

Liege Waffles (Traditional Belgian Waffle Recipe)

Christina’s Cucina is a reliable source of authentic Italian, Scottish, and British food. That’s her wheelhouse. However, you can rest assured that even when she tackles eats out of this zone, they’re still developed with the utmost respect for your time.

So, these Liege waffles are about as close as you can get to authentic without a trip to Belgium. Christina walks you through not only a trustworthy recipe but also the differences, of which there are many, between Belgian and American-style waffles.

Easy Pumpkin Waffles

Weekends just got cozier with these easy pumpkin waffles from Six Hungry Feet. This one calls for fresh pumpkin puree, unlike other pumpkin waffle recipes that use canned. That’s certainly an upgrade. But the enticing scent of fall spices like cinnamon and nutmeg will seal the deal.

Ham + Cheese Waffles

We love foods that are unexpectedly stuffed with fillings like these munchable ham and cheese waffles from Luci’s Morsels. It’s a waffle you can serve savory or sweet with a side of maple syrup.

Waffle Monte Cristo Sandwich

This french toast Monte Cristo sandwich from Alisa from The Delicious Spoon is a creative take on the classic American sandwich (a derivative of the French Croque Monsieur).
