Ingredients needed

You can use any type of waffle maker for this recipe. I am using a Dash mini waffle maker in the pictures but you can use what you have in your kitchen.

• Corn muffin mix – I am using Jiffy corn muffin mix but you can use your favorite mix.
• Milk – 2% or whole milk work well for this recipe.
• Egg – Helps bind the batter together.
• Sugar – This adds a little touch of sweetness. Feel free to omit the sugar.
• Butter – Melted butter gives these waffles a rich flavor. Can be substituted with vegetable oil.

How to make cornbread waffles

Recipe tips

• If you are using a mini waffle maker, 1/4 cup batter works well. This will make about 8 mini waffles.
• Make sure to grease the waffle maker. You can use non-stick cooking spray or brush the iron with melted butter.
• Making multiple waffles? Let them rest on a wire rack to keep them crispy. You can also place them on a baking sheet in the oven at 200 degrees F to keep them warm until ready to serve.

How to store leftovers

Store: Let the leftovers cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat them in the toaster, oven, or air fryer.

Freeze: These will freeze well. Let them cool and then place them on a baking sheet in the freezer for about an hour. Once they are frozen, place them in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.
