Shamrock Waffles

Homemade waffles are the perfect treat to amp up your breakfast routine! This recipe will show you how to make delicious homemade waffles in just 10 minutes! You will absolutely love this recipe!

This recipe uses whipped eggs to make a perfect crunchy texture to the waffle. It makes traditional waffles in a smaller waffle iron, not to be confused with Belgium Waffles, which are made in a thicker grooved waffle iron, and have yeast in the batter.

Waffles always taste better fresh, but these are still super good leftover. You can freeze the left overs and pop them in your toaster to reheat them! Sometimes I like to make a large batch and freeze them, to make breakfast on the fly!

We used a heart waffle iron to make this shamrock shape.  Then we topped the waffles with syrup, whipped cream, and cereal marshmallows!
