Waffles are easily one of the best breakfast foods on the planet.
Sure, pancakes and fresh toast are tasty, but you can almost always get ice cream with your waffle.
Waffles are super easy to cook if you have a waffle iron. You can also purchase waffle irons in fun shapes, like Mickey Mouse!
Did you know that you can cook a lot more than just waffles in your waffle iron? You can make an entire breakfast spread, lunch, or dinner in a waffle iron.
Check out these 15 recipes and see which you think looks the tastiest!
