After I dropped off Allison at school this morning, I came home and got straight to work on these Whole Wheat Waffles! It took me about an hour to cook a double batch.

The only bad thing about making waffles is that it feels like they take forever to cook. However, I made myself be productive during the minute or so that each waffle cooks. And holy cow, you’d be surprised at what you can accomplish in one minute.
Here’s what I did in the downtime:
- Washed dishes
- Cleaned the toaster oven
- Put in a load of laundry
- Organized our snack cabinet
It may not seem like much, but I try to take advantage of little pockets of time whenever I can. Plus, I listened to the Business Boutique podcast the entire time so I was doubly productive!

I placed each waffle on a cooling rack as they finished cooking and ended up with 14 waffles. And I was able to carefully set all three cooling racks on top of each other in the freezer. Once they froze completely, I put them into two freezer bags.
When it’s time to eat them, I’ll put one still frozen in our toaster oven. A regular toaster would work too. Either way, they’ll both turn out crunchy, as if they were freshly made.

We usually put maple syrup on top of ours; I also like adding any kind of sliced fruit. Usually bananas, but I’m also a big fan of strawberries.
Note that the recipe below is only for a single batch, so make sure you double the recipe if you bought the ingredients!

To freeze, place waffles in a single layer on a cooling rack, then place in the freezer. Once they're completely frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag.

Is this recipe already doubled or do I double the recipe?

The recipe is not doubled, so you'll need to double it if you want more. =)
