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!

    Can you use regular white flour in this recipe if you don’t have whole wheat ?

    Annemarie,
    I know I’ve said how having all the CSA farm share veggies flooding into the house means I eat more veggies (a good thing), and having the cow in the freezer means I eat more beef (not as good), but what I’ve recently realized is that having a large bottle of vanilla in the baking drawer means I use more vanilla. Back when I’d buy the small spice aisle bottle of vanilla I’d use it, a teaspoon at a time, when the recipe called for it.
    But now that I’ve got a large bottle I find I’m throwing vanilla in everything, and it provides just that little something a recipe needs.
    Thanks!

      Great point, Kirsten! A big bottle of vanilla in my cabinet is strangely comforting to me.

    I’ve been making vanilla extract for the last year or so. I love it! I also love waffles. I can just imagine how yummy these are!
