Oh, my sweet HEAVEN. These Cornbread waffles piled high with BBQ pulled pork and tangy coleslaw have been some of my favorite bites this year.
The waffles stay incredibly crispy on the outside while fluffy inside. I’ve made these Cornbread Waffles more than a few times now and no matter how you serve them, they’re a winner.
SAVORY WAFFLES
As much as I enjoy waffles, my sweet tooth has taken a backseat to my savory tooth over the past year or two. As a result, I’ve been craving savory waffles more than ever.
Cheddar Chive Waffles topped with Sausage Gravy is a hearty breakfast that I just plain love. For a little bit lighter breakfast treat, these Ham and Cheese Waffles are a handheld treat that I like to keep in the freezer.
Zucchini Cheddar Whole Wheat Waffles and Pancetta Cheddar Waffles both look fantastic and I’ve added them to my savory waffles must-try list for fall weekends.
We enjoy these Cornbread Waffles piled high with Pulled Pork and Coleslaw. These waffles are also delicious with a bowl of our favorite Spicy Five Bean Chili or with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
My family really loves waffles and over the years, I’ve picked up a few tips that make them easy to make and serve.
When you’re making waffles for a crowd, set your oven to 200°F. Place a baking sheet topped with a wire rack in the oven. As the waffles finish in the waffle iron, place them in the oven. The wire rack will allow air to circulate and the waffles stay warm and crisp on the outside.
If you make waffles often, and for more than a few people, a double-sided waffle iron is priceless. I love mine and it effectively cuts the cooking time in half when you can bake two big waffles at a time. Definitely a win on a lazy weekend morning.
If you frequently make waffles with the intention of freezing them, this square waffle iron might be for you. The size is perfect for freezer waffles and it makes (4) 4-inch waffles at a time. All 4 will fit perfectly in a gallon size freezer bag or alternatively, each 4-inch waffle fits perfectly in a sandwich bag. So, this waffle iron is a win for freezer waffles however you plan to store them.

You can skip the butter or melt coconut oil for this recipe.

I made the waffles, and they were a big hit with my husband. I substituted the tablespoon of sugar for a slightly lower amount of stevia, but otherwise I followed the recipe and it made 4 Belgian waffles in my waffle maker. I’ll definitely be making these again.

Jennifer says
Very tasty! I used homemade rice/walnut milk and olive oil, and the waffles turned out great. I ate them sweet for breakfast, with maple syrup, but I can definitely see them smothered in chili. There are leftovers, and there are cans of beans on the shelves, so this is a distinct possibility for supper. 🙂 Thanks so much!
