In my family, Waffles-with-Waffle-Sauce is all one word. Waffles just aren’t waffles without the sauce.
Waffles are comfort food at its best. Breakfast or dinner, they are guaranteed to make me happy.
Whole Wheat Waffles
I don’t order them from restaurants and I only like them with my Grandma’s Waffle Sauce. Yes, it should be capitalized.
Waffle Sauce is amazing in its ability to transform any breakfast food into something amazing. We love it on pancakes as well. My brother’s family enjoys it on German pancakes.
I’ve never served waffle sauce to someone who hasn’t fallen in love with it. Waffle sauce is not an everyday food for us, but it does have the ability to make an ordinary day extra special.
Fresh Nutmeg
Have you ever used fresh nutmeg? Nutmeg is my favorite spice to use fresh, because the aroma and the flavor are unforgettable.
Thanks to my sister Jenny’s suggestion, we started grating fresh nutmeg over my grandmother’s waffles with waffle sauce years ago and ever since, I’ve been grating nutmeg every chance I get.
Don’t be intimidated by this hard as rock spice. It’s easy as can be to use and once you’ve tried it, you’ll likely be as hooked on it as we are.
FREEZER MEAL: This recipe makes (18) 4″ square Belgium waffles. I freeze the extras (four in a gallon size ziploc bag) and they reheat perfectly in the toaster for easy breakfasts.
I often double the waffle sauce recipe as well and freeze the extra amount in small containers for individual breakfasts.

Your whole wheat recipe has no sugar. Was this an oversight/typo or intentional?
Mary Younkin says
It was intentional at the time, but to be honest, I typically add a tablespoon just from habit when I make these. The waffles will be fine either way, Christine.
