I am about to drop the easiest waffle recipe you will ever see. And, considering it feels all fancy being ombre and all, it will seem even easier. Enter: box cake mix waffles!
Yep, today, I’m going to teach you how to make box cake mix waffles. I’m not even really teaching you, I’m just showing you that it works. And the result is some super cute pink and red waffles for your Valentine’s and Galentine’s Day celebrations!
For this recipe, you’ll need:
- A waffle maker (This one is similar to mine and love this one for special days like V-Day, anniversaries and birthdays)
- Two mixing bowls
- A whisk
- Red velvet and strawberry cake mixes
- Oil, eggs according to the cake mixes
Yeah, that’s it! If you really want to go crazy, a little whipped cream and some sprinkles will dress it up. But now don’t go telling everyone that we make our waffles with cake mix, k? Like let’s let people think we slaved over these and put a whole lot of thought into them.
You can also make these ahead as you would any waffle – just let them cool completely, place in a ziploc or container and pop into the freezer. Then you can heat them up in the oven or a toaster. I love to have these cut into the triangles so I can put them out and guests can take as much or as little as they want.
