Notes

How to Store

  • Fridge: Let the waffles cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper in between and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Keeps them from sticking and getting soggy.
  • Freezer: Lay waffles in a single layer to freeze first, then stack with parchment paper and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. I suggest freezing so you can just grab and reheat when you need them.
  • Reheating: Pop them in the toaster or oven at 350°F until warmed through and crisp again. You can also use the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes to get them nice and crispy. Skip the microwave if you can boos. It will make them soft and sad.
