A great way to make crispy waffles is to substitute about 1/8 of the flour with corn starch. Sounds weird, but it works great! Does your recipe for waffles need salt?

I usually cook them in the microwave in plastic ziploc bags, but lately I've been worried about heating plastic like that. This is a nice, natural way to cook them. And it doesn't take much longer from start to finish. Thanks for the ideas! Thanks for the sweet potato idea.

What brand of waffle maker is that and do you like it/love it...does it matter? 2. This may seem like a stupid question, but can the waffle recipe be used for both waffles AND pancakes? (I'm so sorry to have to ask.) Thanks! LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog!!! I check it several times/day!!!! (and have brought many friends/aquaintances here as well!) ********************* Money Saving Mom here: Our waffle maker is a Toastmaster Belgian Waffle Baker that my husband bought for me a few years back. I love it and have used it countless times! The recipe could probably be used for pancakes, but the batter is fairly thick. I'd definitely thin it some if I were going to make pancakes with it. I have a different recipe I use for pancakes, though. I'll try to share it in my final Baking Day post today--once I get the pancakes made! Okay…couple quick questions.

My DH is on a low-fat diet and I've been looking for a good whole wheat waffle recipe. This one looks like the best I've found. Thank you! ********************* Money Saving Mom here: I wouldn't know on that, but I would say that you could try cutting back even more on the oil--say a 1 to 4 ratio of oil to applesauce--or even completely just doing applesauce. They will still turn out just fine if you only use applesauce, but they won't be very crispy.

It keeps my goals going seeing what you accomplish in one day. I am a big list maker so that could be the visual reminder I need. I also have to comment about the drugstore deals again. The CVS deals you post are very easy for me to read and understand. Not saying that the other coupon sites are bad in any way just that I get confused and there is alot of chit chat which even more confuses me. Thanks as it makes my drugstore deal shopping much much easier. Hugs~ Renee Crystal~

When you use whole wheat for waffles, pancakes, etc, do you let the batter rest for a bit? I heard once that you're supposed to with certain types of whole wheat batters, as the flour is more dense and needs more liquid, but I'm not sure if that rule applies here - I had heard it for breadmaking and muffin making. Seriously...you have more energy than I do, and I only have Liam right now. ;) *********************** Money Saving Mom here: You can let them rest or even soak in the fridge overnight--which I sometimes do to make a quick breakfast in the mornings. However, you don't have to, at least not with this recipe. If it seems too dense or I'm wanting to thin it, I'll just add a little more milk. My only question is this….

I peel, cook, and puree sweet potatoes. Then I freeze them in ice cube trays. Once they are frozen I put them in a freezer safe bag. Then you can throw a cube or two in mac n cheese or in spaghetti sauce. If you do not want to purchase these books, check the library!

My sister and I share waffle irons, so when we make waffles we can use 2 waffle makers. We don't drink cow's milk, so I'm going to substitute rice milk in your recipe. I like the idea of applesauce or other puree in place of half the oil. I think I'll be making waffles tomorrow. My kids just love waffles! And I just reheat them in the toaster. Quick, easy, tasty, and energy efficient. I appreciate the comments by other moms, too. I want to try someone's idea for baked sweet potato wedges. Yum! Love your blog! Thanks for the waffle recipe.
