Frequently asked questions
Can I use whole eggs instead of egg whites?
Yes, you can use 4 large eggs instead of egg whites. This will give you a richer flavor and a slight change in texture.
What type of milk can I use?
You can use any type of milk you prefer! Dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk are all great options.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to use the batter immediately after mixing for the fluffiest waffles, but you can prepare your dry and wet ingredients separately in advance to save time in the morning. Just mix them right before cooking!
