Notes

Storage: Allow the waffles to fully cool before covering and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the toaster, just like a frozen waffle until golden brown.

Freezer Friendly: Allow the waffles to fully cool, then place into a plastic freezer bag, releasing as much air as possible. Reheat in the toaster until golden brown.
