Freezer Waffles

I love this recipe for making a big batch of waffles ahead of time, then tossing them into the freezer for the kids to grab and pop in the toaster in the mornings. They love them! But these are just as delicious if you make them to serve right away too. I also like to use half whole wheat flour for some added whole grain goodness. This is my favorite waffle recipe because it's simple, it uses regular pantry items I almost always have on hand, and it's delicious.

Freezer Waffles

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (can use half whole wheat flour)
2 TBSP. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
4 cups milk (or almond milk)
2/3 cup canola oil
4 eggs, lightly beaten

In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Add the milk, oil and eggs, stirring just until moistenend. Do Not Overstir! (if adding fruit like blueberries etc. combine with milk before mixing into the dry ingrendients). Use about 1/3 cup batter for each waffle. Cook waffles according to you waffle maker. Place cooked waffles on wire racks to cool so both sides cool and stay crisp on the outside. Place in large ziploc bags, label and freeze. To use, place a waffle in the toaster and toast until done. Serve hot with your favorite syrup.
