These whole grain vanilla waffles are a delicious recipe for a special breakfast. You can make some extras and stash them in the freezer for later.

Vanilla extract is a wonderful ingredient for making things taste delicious without adding sugar. My children were home from school recently for yet another snow day here in Massachusetts, so we celebrated by making a special breakfast.

These homemade vanilla waffles have the best flavor! The vanilla makes them more of a treat than plain waffles. As an added benefit, your house will smell amazing for hours after you make these.

Vanilla Waffle Recipe Tips

These are delicious served with berries and maple syrup, but you can get creative with other fruit or different toppings that you have on hand.

If you have extra waffles, you can freeze them. This batch serves four, so you may want to double it and freeze the leftovers for an easy breakfast on a busy day.

Visit my gluten-free waffles recipe if you don’t want to use wheat flour. They’re just as delicious!
