Breakfast waffles are the perfect breakfast to kick-start your day. This homemade Belgian waffle recipe is a super easy breakfast to make. These sweet waffles are light, and airy, due to the fact we separate the egg whites from the yolks. You keep whisking the egg whites until they form stiff white peaks. Then folding the egg whites in at the end makes this waffles recipe so much fluffier.
Making Belgian breakfast waffles is easy and can be whipped up in no time. Even my kids / Husband can make them. Last Mother’s Day they made me breakfast waffles with fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream. I mean, it doesn’t get better than that. I think they did an awesome job, don’t you?

How many calories are in breakfast waffles?
Breakfast waffles are a great treat to enjoy every now and again. I wouldn’t advise eating them daily as they can be pretty high in calories once you add your toppings. These delicious Belgian waffles are 396 calories each without any toppings added. If you’re watching your calorie intake, you can top your waffles with fresh fruit and low-sugar syrup to save on calories.
Choosing a waffle iron/maker
If you don’t already have a waffle iron or waffle, here are some useful things to look out for when choosing yours. You can buy waffle irons for a pretty low price. I only paid about €30 on Amazon for mine a few years ago.
I hope this list helps you pick the right waffle maker for you.
