How to Freeze Waffles

Did you know you can freeze waffles? It’s easy to do so you can have waffles on demand, even on your busiest mornings!

I love breakfast foods, especially waffles. To me, waffles are a lazy man’s pancake. You pour your pancake mix into the waffle iron, close it, and wait for it to ring when it’s ready.

That’s it! It means no hovering over the stovetop or the griddle, or watching the batter to see when you have to flip it. And sometimes you make the mistake of doing too many things at once, and some pancakes burn (not that I would know anything about that). So I love to have waffles for breakfast on those days where I can’t seem to shake off the sleepiness.

I know if you are anything like me, then most of the time you are dragging your kids out of bed and prodding them to get ready for school, and I’m sleepy, too! MOMables is here to make that morning process just a bit easier! With our menu planning and our massive recipe index, you have everything you need!

My secret to having waffles on those days is that I actually raid my freezer stash. I am not a morning person, and sometimes even pouring the batter into the waffle iron is too much. I just dive into my freezer stash and reheat the waffles. I can then enjoy a few moments with my coffee, and breakfast is done!

I usually use a freezer-safe bag to store my waffles. My waffle iron can make four waffles at a time, and I can fit 8 waffles in a gallon-size freezer bag. I squeeze out as much air as possible and double-bag the waffles in order to prevent freezer burn. To help my waffles cool faster, I let them cool on a wire rack.

Learn how to freeze waffles to enjoy at a later time!

  • Author: MOMables – Laura Fuentes
  • Category: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • Your favorite waffle mix
  • Waffle iron
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking sheet
  • Freezer-safe bag or container
  • Permanent marker

Instructions

  1. Cook the waffles and allow them to fully cool down.
  2. Place the waffles on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet.
  3. Put the baking sheet into the freezer until the waffles are fully frozen, for about 2 hours.
  4. Once the waffles are frozen, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
  5. Use a permanent marker to label the freezer bag or container.
  6. When reheating the waffles, you can use the microwave, toaster, or oven to reheat and enjoy.

Notes

Waffles can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months.
MOM Tip: If you’re using a freezer-safe bag to store the waffles, try to squeeze out as much air as possible in order to prevent freezer burn. Also, using two bags helps as well.

    Made my first waffles this morning… I bought a Mini-Dash Waffle Maker, and it is pretty small. BU&T the waffles were delicious. I have enough batter to freeze a half-dozen. For a first experience, I am thrilled !

    How long do you guys toast the frozen waffles for to reheat?

    I’ve been freezing batches of waffles for the kids for a while now, but we have a super early start on Saturday morning and I don’t want to rob them of their usual waffles, so want to try and toast them rather than heat them in the over.

    Thanks in advance,

      Hi Sam, usually 1-2 rounds in a regular toaster or 1 cycle in the toaster oven does the trick. It really depends on the toaster you have. Hope this helps!

    Hi, can I prepare the batter the night before, store it in the fridge and use it in the morning?

    thank you.

      Yes you can do that. You might have to add a tablespoon or two of water or milk to reconstitute the batter consistency. Enjoy!

    I have also found that it’s best to lay the waffles out on a cookie sheet and pop them in the freezer for a couple hours before putting them into the freezer bags – keeps them from sticking together when they’re in the bag. That goes for most foods really.

    Hi,

      Julie, I am in no way associated with this brand but I have had numerous waffle makers ranging from $14-$60 and they were awful in one way or another. I bought this one two months ago and it’s AMAZING. ZERO stick. cleanup is a breeze.
