Notes

Make it vegan: Use flax eggs (1 tbsp flax + 2.5 tbsp water) and plant-based milk.
For crispier waffles, let them rest on a wire rack instead of stacking.
Add-ins: Mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or blueberries work wonderfully.
Storage: Waffles freeze well. Reheat in toaster for crispiness.
