While organic eggnog is in season, you need to make these homemade waffles! These Eggnog Waffles combine holiday cheer with homemade waffles. There truly is no better way to spend a lazy holiday morning than enjoying these organic waffles.

Light, fluffy, and crispy on the edges, these Eggnog Waffles have a slight tang and combine cozy spices for the ultimate holiday breakfast treat. You can also make these organic waffles ahead of time as they freeze super well. Just pop them in your toaster or air fryer to warm them up for an easy breakfast on Christmas morning!

Why You'll Love This Recipe

Holiday Vibes: My friends at Organic Valley sent me some of their seasonal Organic Eggnog and it is delicious! So, I knew I wanted to make Eggnog Waffles! Adding organic eggnog to waffles infuses the flavors of Christmas into every bite!

Make Ahead: These homemade waffles can be made ahead of time. I made them the night before, stuck the batter in the fridge (covered it) and then just pulled it out when I turned on the waffle iron. That makes this an incredibly easy recipe to make for Christmas morning! You can also freeze them and reheat in your toaster too!

Light & Fluffy: These Eggnog Waffles are light and fluffy with organic eggnog infused into every bite! I serve these with maple syrup and some fresh banana slices. You could even add a little sprinkle of cinnamon on top too! Or, feel free to add fresh cranberries if you have them.

Ingredients

  • Butter: I use Organic Valley Salted Butter, you can use your favorite.
  • All Purpose Flour: My favorite is Cairnspring Mills.
  • Cane Sugar: I use organic cane sugar in these homemade waffles for a more natural sweetness.
  • Salt: Use fine sea salt.
  • Baking Powder: This makes these organic waffles fluffy AF. Don't use baking soda as it doesn't have the same effect.
  • Vanilla Bean: I use organic ground vanilla bean for depth of flavor. If you don't have this you can also use vanilla extract.
  • Cloves: Organic ground cloves are the coziest of all the spices, they give these homemade waffles the perfect amount of warmth.
  • Nutmeg: I also use organic ground nutmeg for additional flavor.
  • Eggs: Use large eggs.
  • Eggnog: I use Organic Valley Eggnog, you can use your favorite.

Tools Needed

  • Scale: Always use a digital food scale for the best results.
  • Small Pot: You'll need a small pot to melt the butter.
  • Mixing Bowl: These homemade waffles are so easy, you'll just need a mixing bowl to mix up the batter.
  • Whisk: I use a whisk to mix the batter to ensure it's smooth.
  • Waffle Iron: You'll need a waffle iron to cook these organic waffles. You can use square or round, either works!

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, add the flour, cane sugar, sea salt, baking powder, vanilla bean, cloves, and nutmeg and whisk together. 

Step 2

In a small saucepan, add the butter and put over medium heat. As soon as the butter is melted, remove from heat.

Step 3

Add the eggnog, eggs, and melted butter to the flour mixture and whisk until a smooth batter forms. This is where you can just cover the bowl with plastic wrap and stick in the fridge for the next morning, or you can make the waffles now. Just let the batter come to room temperature before adding to waffle iron so it can spread out evenly. 

Step 4

Preheat your waffle iron and use ½ cup batter per waffle. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or follow the directions for your waffle iron. 

Step 5

Serve with bananas slices and maple syrup.

FAQ's

What if I don't have eggnog?

You can substitute heavy whipping cream for the eggnog, but you'll miss out on the eggnog flavor! If you don't have eggnog try some of my waffle recipes that don't need it like Homemade Malted Milk Waffles, Eggless Sourdough Waffles, or Eggless Banana Waffles.

What can I serve these with?

Serve with traditional waffle toppings like powdered sugar, butter, maple syrup, banana slices, strawberries, raspberries, or even cranberries for a more festive fruit! I also love adding protein to my meals, so try my Fluffy Scrambled Eggs or Homemade Pork Breakfast Sausage to go along with these.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! As I mentioned above, that's what I did with this recipe when I originally made them. Make the batter the night before, cover it with plastic wrap and store in the fridge. When you preheat your waffle iron, pull out the batter and just cook them up the morning of.
