I like to sleep, quite frankly it’s one of my favorite hobbies, but unfortunately I don’t get much of it during the week. So when the weekend hits, I am all about getting my sleep on…yep, sleeping in and making waffles!
My dad gave me this Waring Pro Waffle Iron last year and it sat unused for a couple of months. However, once I pulled it out of the box, I was in love and addicted to making waffles! I think part of the addiction stems from the fact that I thoroughly enjoy the flipping mechanism on this machine, plus the timer makes the waffles foolproof! What can I say…I have a habit of burning toast, so I am all about timers!
Making homemade waffles is simple and only requires a handful of ingredients. Once you find your go-to waffle recipe, you can experiment with a variety of ingredients. Anything from chocolate chips to bananas can be tossed into the batter to make plain waffles go from ordinary to extraordinary. Last Sunday, I whipped together these Maple Chip Waffles for a hungry crowd. I cooked them up until they were crisp and slathered them with butter and pure maple syrup. They were the perfect Sunday morning breakfast served alongside some crispy bacon and piping hot coffee. If you are staring at the photos in search of maple chips, you are not going nuts, they all just kinda sink to the bottom of the waffle and are not all that visible in the photos! They are there, I promise!
This Sunday, we are attempting homemade doughnuts, I will definitely report back on this adventure…that is unless I burn down my house because me+frying= a hot mess! Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!
Maple Chip Waffles
Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups milk (I used 2%)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup mini maple chips
Directions:
1. Preheat waffle iron. Beat eggs in large bowl with hand beater until fluffy. Beat in flour, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla, just until smooth. Fold in mini maple chips.
2. Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. Serve hot.
Notes:
- I use level 5 on my Waring Pro Waffle Iron, we like them crispy.
- I purchased the Maple Chips from preparedpantry.com

That looks so good. I’d love a square waffle iron but mine is pretty cute…it’s a whole bunch of hearts in a circle. I’ll have to try your recipe!!
Mmm a waffle iron sounds like a fabulous gadget! These waffles look totally delicious too, what a breakfast treat :)
Love using those waffle irons at hotels!! They are the best. Always wanted one…but seems redundant since I have a regular belgian waffle iron. You scored!!
I’ve never seen or heard of maple chips but I love the idea of putting them in waffles! Thanks for sharing where you purchased them. The waffles look amazing!
Maple is my favorite breakfast flavor! These look delicious! Now I’ve got to find a store that has maple chips, I’ve never seen them before.
Well, solves that problem! I was seriously just sitting here thinking “I’m hungry. What do I want to make for breakfast?” Waffles it is. These look absolutely delicious. Thanks!
Ooh that just looks absolutely divine!
Good luck with the donuts- I can’t wait to see them here!
Holy Skittles, those look good!!
I think that if I only ever ate breakfast foods and desserts, I’d live a happy life.
Good luck with ur doughnuts! I made some beignets last week, and they were great! Make sure ur oil is super fresh!! :)
Where do you get maple chips? I’m all for anything maple. And now I must make waffles in the morning.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. They are from preparedpantry.com
They look great! Just a tip, if you coat the chips with powdered sugar a bit they will not fall to the bottom they’ll distribute better. Also I freeze waffles up in ziploc bags & they are perfect to warm in the toaster even frozen; so you could sleep in more or warm the whole bunch at once in the oven on a cookie sheet. hth
Thanks, Barb! Those tips are definitely helpful!
