Just in case you missed this DIY recipe article on making your own frozen Eggo waffles the first time we shared it a couple of years ago, we are republishing it. After Marne wrote this blog originally, we got an awesome response. This is one of the PYP Best Blogs!

Last summer I posted about making your own “Eggo” waffles. I’m sure most of you already do this. I thought I would post it again because maybe there is someone out there who could use this idea.

When you make homemade waffles or pancakes for breakfast, double or triple the batch on purpose. That way you can freeze some for later. Whalla! Homemade “Eggo” waffles.

We had homemade wheat waffles with cinnamon syrup for breakfast this morning. I made 20 extra waffles, fit them in this Ziploc bag, squeezed out the extra air, and now I have a few breakfasts done during the next few weeks. I love it!

Doing this does take a little extra time, but it’s worth it! Your family is getting homemade goodness instead of the stuff from the store that is full of high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, and artificial colors/flavors. You know what is in these…you made them! And, it really does save money. You may think that box of Eggo waffles at Costco is a good deal, but if you make waffles from scratch and freeze them yourself, it is still much, much cheaper.

A few tips shared before that will help with the freezing process:

Put some wax paper in between the waffles before freezing them. This will help when taking them apart.
Warm them up for a few moments in the microwave after taking them out of the freezer. This helps them come apart easier.
Put in the toaster for a crispy taste, or warm up in the microwave for a softer taste.
