Leftover Waffles

How to Freeze and Reheat Waffles

Leftover waffles: Did your favorite waffle recipe make more waffles than your family could eat? Find tips for freezing and reheating those delicious waffle recipes.

Love making and eating waffles but wondering what to do with the leftover waffles?

Did your favorite waffle recipe make more waffles than your family could eat? It would be a shame to throw them out, but what do you do with leftovers?

Freeze them! Let the waffles cool and then place them in a plastic freezer bag with wax paper between the layers, removing as much air as you can. Place the leftover waffles in the freezer for up to a month.

Ready to reheat your leftover waffles? Here's three different methods.

How to reheat frozen leftover waffles:

Microwave: Place them in the microwave for about 45-60 seconds and they make a super fast quick breakfast for those mornings you are on the go. They will be softer, but still yummy.

Toaster: If you prefer a crispier waffle, try reheating them in your toaster if the slots on your toaster are wide enough. Some newer toasters have special settings on them just for frozen items.

Oven: You can also place them in a single layer directly on the oven rack in a preheated 300F degree oven for 10 minutes and they will be ready for butter and syrup.

Enjoy your leftover waffles again the next day for breakfast or brunch, this time without having to clean out the waffle maker or batter bowl.

High Quality Waffle Makers

KitchenAid 7.5-in. Pro Line Waffle Iron, Nickel Pearl

The specially designed double-sided baking unit rotates to allow the batter to coat both upper and lower waffle plates; producing two golden Grand Belgian waffles. Space-saving design allows the waffle baker to be stored easily on your countertop or in a cabinet. Makes two 7 1/2-inch diameter by 1 1/4-inch thick grand Belgian waffles in less than five minutes. Waffles bake at a constant temperature optimized for the best results, and waffle browning is controlled with a baking timer. The baking timer display shows the remaining baking time in minutes and seconds. Non-stick waffle plates wipe clean with a paper towel or damp cloth. Drip channel along edge helps prevent overflow and spills. Durable die-cast metal base and stainless steel baker lids and handles remain cool to the touch. Double-sided, clamshell baking unit rotates to provide consistent waffles with minimal gaps and spaces.

Waring Professional Belgian Waffle Iron

For a true Belgian waffle that's fluffy and thick all over, you need a specially-designed waffle maker, such as this nonstick Professional Belgian Waffle Iron by Waring. Made to professional standards, it rests in a cradle-like stand and comes with an attached handle that you turn as your waffle bakes. As you rotate the iron, the waffle drops from side to side so it puffs-up evenly on both sides as it browns all over - a noticeable difference when you compare it to other Belgian waffles you've had recently. It has a basic On and Off switch, a knob to adjust the browning and two LED lights that tell you when the power is on and when your waffle has finished baking . An audio beep tone indicates when the waffle maker is ready to operate and when the waffle is finished baking. It has a brushed stainless steel housing and a brushed, die-cast base. For easy clean up, the nonstick Professional Belgian Waffle Iron includes a removable stainless catch tray that is dishwasher-safe. Recipes and instructions included.
