Can you freeze waffles?
Most people are familiar with frozen waffles that you purchase in the grocery store, which can be a quick and easy option for breakfast or a snack.
But what about homemade waffles? Can you freeze them to enjoy later? The answer is yes! Homemade waffles can be frozen and reheated, although there may be some slight loss of quality.
Best way to freeze waffles?
To freeze homemade waffles, simply place them on a baking sheet in the freezer and allow them to freeze solid.
Once frozen, you can transfer the waffles to a freezer bag or container.
When you're ready to eat the waffles, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave to reheat.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Measure and add all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to blend the ingredients.
Step 2: Using a wide mouth funnel, pour the waffle mix into a clean dry mason jar. Seal with a lid.
Step 3: Print out the free gift tags.
Step 4: Cut them out and punch a hole in the corner. Use a ribbon to attach the label to the mason jar.
How to make Homemade Waffles
When your gift recipient is ready to make waffles for breakfast, all they need to do is add the wet ingredients listed on the gift tag and then follow the directions listed as well on the gift tag.
Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions on the waffle iron.
2 cups of waffle mix will give you roughly 8 waffles.
Before You Begin!
If you make this recipe, please leave a review and star rating. This helps my business thrive and continue providing FREE recipes.
Make it a Meal
For a holiday brunch, you can also serve waffles with a Breakfast Casserole with Eggs and Sausage.
We always love homemade cinnamon rolls for the holidays! Check out all my Christmas Breakfast Recipes to help you create the perfect Christmas morning brunch for your family.
Storage Tips
The jars should last up to 6 months if stored in a cool, dark place.
You could even prep the jars a few weeks ahead of time before you want to give them as gifts. Although the layers might start to settle down on top of each other and not look as pretty.
Top Recipe Tip
Use a wide mouth funnel to help you get everything in the mason jars without making a mess.
How to Print the Labels
Once you download the gift tags, you'll be able to print out the labels to use when you make your own Pancake Mix as a Gift or just to use for your own kitchen.
- I recommend printing the labels on card stock paper for the gift tags. Regular printer paper will be fine for the baking instructions.
- Cut out the gift tags and attach them using using red and white twine. You now have a great hostess gift ready for all your holiday gift-giving needs.
