Note
Storage: Wrap cooled waffles individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, place directly in a toaster for a quick, crisp breakfast.
Variation: You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter. If doing so, reduce the milk to 1 cup initially, then add up to 1/4 cup more milk if necessary to achieve a pourable batter consistency.
Serving Suggestion: These waffles are delicious on their own but pair wonderfully with fresh fruit, jam, or a drizzle of extra honey.
Pancake Option: This batter can also be used to make pancakes. Cook on a greased griddle over medium heat until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden.
