Bisquick Waffles

These easy Bisquick waffles are the perfect way to start the day! I make them with just a few simple ingredients, including Bisquick mix, milk, eggs, and oil. They come out light, fluffy, and just to die for!

They only take about 10 minutes to whip up, so I even make them on busy weekday mornings. They're also great as breakfast for dinner! I top them with fresh fruit maple syrup, whipped cream, or chocolate chips if I'm feeling decadent.

Sometimes, I'll even add fried chicken to the mix for some chicken and waffles goodness!

The quick, original recipe on the box has been my go-to for years. But I make a few tweaks to make them taste even better.

Get ready for the best, tastiest, fluffy-but-crunchy Bisquick waffles you’ve ever had!

Bisquick™ Waffles Ingredients

The great thing about making waffles with Bisquick is that you don't need a lot. The list really just boils down to four.

• Bisquick waffle mix: Bisquick mix takes care of almost everything you need for these waffles. That's what makes them so simple.

• Milk: Here's one of the secret tricks to this recipe. The Bisquick box will tell you to use 1-1/3 cups of milk. Use 2 full cups instead. Trust me, it makes all the difference.

• Vegetable oil: Try not to substitute for another type of oil unless you have no other choice. Vegetable oil is the best option.

• Egg: The egg holds everything together and makes the waffles light and fluffy.

How to Make Bisquick Waffles

Just wait until you see how easy this homemade waffle recipe is. You might never go back to making them from scratch again!

1. PREPARE IRON. Preheat the waffle iron so it's already hot when you pour in the batter. Grease it with nonstick cooking spray, as well.

2. MAKE BATTER. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until the batter is smooth.

3. COOK WAFFLES. Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron. Cook until the waffles are golden brown. Then, serve hot waffles with your desired toppings and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks for the Best Bisquick Waffles

For the best, fluffy waffles that the whole family will enjoy, follow these tips and tricks:

• Watch the heat! Nobody likes burnt waffles. Setting your waffle maker to medium will prevent them from sticking to your waffle iron and burning. It'll also ensure your waffle is evenly cooked and isn’t raw in the middle or burnt on the outside.

• Go easy on the batter. Note how much batter your waffle iron requires. Most waffle irons need one cup, but others need more. Knowing how much yours needs is essential because you don’t want them to be too thin and not have the classic waffle shape. You also don't want to make a mess with overflowing batter!

• Swap buttermilk for milk. It makes the waffles so much richer.

• Dial up the flavor. Add a teaspoon of cinnamon for a richly spiced flavor. I also like to add nutmeg, vanilla extract, or brown sugar. You can even add small pieces of fruit to incorporate their sweet flavors.

• Go Belgian! Transform your waffles into Belgian waffles. Just add a pinch more baking soda to make it extra light and fluffy. You won't get a TRUE Belgian waffle experience without the larger, deeper Belgian waffle iron. Still, extra baking soda will give you a close approximation.

Toppings Ideas

This recipe makes the most excellent waffles. They’ll be so tasty even with just a little butter.

But if you’re feeling like adding a few extra things to dress up your simple Bisquick waffle, there are plenty of options. Try any of these:

• Fruits and just a little bit of whipped cream. This combo is always great on top of a stack of waffles. My favorites are blueberries and bananas!

• Vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. These toppings are for when you really want to be indulgent and over-the-top decadent.

• A quick coating of cinnamon sugar. It's a quick, easy, and low-calorie way to add a ton of flavor.

• Savory toppings. Try the traditional fried chicken or bacon and cheesy scrambled eggs.

How to Store

Have leftover waffles? Follow my easy steps to store them.

To Store: Place waffles in the refrigerator for up to 3 days by placing them in an airtight container. This helps maintain freshness and prevents moisture from affecting their texture.

To Freeze: Wrap waffles individually in plastic wrap, a zip-top freezer bag, or aluminum foil and place them in airtight containers or freezer bags. Frozen waffles can be stored for up to 2 months and reheated as needed.

To Reheat: I reheat waffles using a toaster, toaster oven, or microwave to restore their crispy exterior and fluffy interior. You can also reheat them on a baking sheet in the oven. For optimal results, reheat them until lightly toasted and warm throughout.
