• Waffles may be made ahead of time and frozen. Cool completely before placing in a resealable plastic bag to freeze. Reheat on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a 350° oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until heated through. 
• These are delicious by themselves but extra yummy when topped with sliced strawberries, berries, whipped cream, ice cream, peanut butter, or syrup, just to name a few options. Get creative and have fun!
