i haven't used my mini waffle maker in ages - this is actually a great way to do food prep for breakfast in a quick way. The last time I used it I think I was using either a cookie or homemade muffin mix (it's been that long lol) I bet the three ingredient peanut butter cookie recipe would be pretty cool in a big waffle form. Possibilities are endless with that mini waffle maker!

They do freeze but you can also freeze planned-overs instead of leftovers. When you are chopping onions, or garlic, or even celery, put some chopped in the freezer to grab a spoonful to toss in. Can also use instant mashed potatoes in them, nice and crispy potato cakes.

Great meal ideas using a waffle maker

I have that exact same waffle maker! I’ve never used it for anything other than waffles before but I guess I’ll have to fix that!

If you're ever wondering about what kind of content you wanted to make, I would love to see some vegan waffle maker recipes. I thought about substituting the egg with a chickpea flour and water slurry but I'm tired of the flavor of chickpea flour so I'm wondering what I can use to substitute the egg 🤔

@ArdentMichelle

2 ай бұрын

Someone else said they use JUST EGG which uses a mung bean. I think it's costly but it might be worth it for the variety.

I love this idea! Now the wheels are turning in my brain. I think I'll try some leftover mashed potatoes with garlic and spices to create a sort of potato pancake. I also thought of trying different pureed vegetables or shredded to make crispy vegetable "waffles" (like carrots, zucchini, etc.). I might try bread, butter and cheese to make a sort of grilled cheese sandwich. I enjoy your channel because you help me to be more creative in the kitchen and still save money.

I bought a waffle maker to make fat free waffles. Mashed banana, rolled oats and a little water. Cinamon, vanilla optional. Takes longer than regular waffles to crisp but worth it!!!!!!!

It has four cavities so I make a couple of different ones at the same time.
