Bisquick baking mix was launched in 1931 as a fast solution for biscuits. The original mix, which is still available today, contains flour, vegetable oil, cornstarch, sugar, dextrose, baking soda, and salt. It’s still used for fluffy biscuits, but many more recipes and uses have been added, such as the recipe we will talk about today — Bisquick waffles.

Bisquick is a pantry staple in my home. I use it to make dumplings, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, blueberry muffins, and more. With work, home life, and other activities, anything that is helpful in the kitchen and makes mealtime go smoothly is a welcome addition.

Mixes are super helpful when you are in a hurry or don’t want to destroy the kitchen with various mixing bowls, measuring cups, and ingredients. Thanks to this Bisquick waffle recipe, you only need milk, an egg, and some vegetable oil to add to the baking mix. The result is warm waffles on everyone’s plates and a quick clean-up afterward.

Since the Bisquick baking mix contains sugar, the waffles have a sweet taste, and no additional sugar is needed. Also, Bisquick now offers a gluten-free baking mix, so those gluten-free fluffy waffles as well!

Is Bisquick Waffle Healthy?

Bisquick is low in sugar and has just enough to add a little sweetness to what you make, so you won’t need any extra sugar, which is always a good thing. Waffles, in general, are a great idea when looking for healthy, quick meals. They require simple ingredients, and you can add whatever you like for extra nutrition. When you think outside the box, there are plenty of other options to top a waffle besides the traditional butter and syrup.

The original Bisquick baking mix contains wheat flour; however, as mentioned, there is a gluten-free Bisquick available. You can also alter the recipe to make vegan-friendly waffles by replacing the egg with mashed fruit. 1/4 cup mashed banana or unsweetened apple sauce works just as well as an egg and adds great flavor. Skip the milk as well and use plant-based milk instead.

Patience Yields the Best Results

Patience is a virtue we seldom express when feeling hungry. Still, there are a couple of steps in the recipe that require a little patience so that you will get the best waffle results. First, make the iron sizzle. A hot waffle iron is essential so the waffle crisps on the outside and stays as fluffy as a cloud inside. After letting it heat up, drizzle a few drops of water onto the waffle plates of the iron. They should bubble up quickly and sizzle, then almost immediately disappear from the heat. When that happens, your waffle iron is ready.

Second, as the waffle cooks, don’t be tempted to peek unnecessarily. The waffle iron will steam, and as long as you see steam, the waffle isn’t done. The moisture from the batter is still creating steam. When the steam stops, you can set the waffle free and indulge.

FAQs & Tips

How to Make Ahead and Store?

After making a batch of waffles, you can toss them in a zip-top plastic bag or airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for about a week. You can also freeze leftover waffles. Place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet in the freezer and allow them to freeze. Then, place them in a freezer-safe zip-top bag and store them in the freezer for up to six months.

What is the best way to reheat leftover waffles?

To reheat leftover waffles, heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the waffles on a baking sheet and cover it with aluminum foil. Bake for about 15 minutes or until warm.

Why are my waffles dry?

Dry waffles are no fun, but thankfully, they are easy to avoid. If yours are dry, you may be overmixing the batter. Gently mix the ingredients just until blended. You don’t need silky smooth waffle batter. A few lumps are vital to create a batter that doesn’t spread too thin on the iron, resulting in lifeless, dry waffles.

Is pancake batter the same as waffle batter?

Though they sometimes contain the same ingredients, there are slight differences in ratios, since pancakes are thinner and have a different texture than waffles. It’s best to stick with pancake batter for pancakes and waffle batter for waffles.

Serving Suggestions

Is there anything you can’t put on top of a waffle? Not really! One of my favorites is waffles with strawberries and cream sauce. I can’t decide if I am eating breakfast or dessert, but I am fine either way. Another one of my faves, and the kids like it too, is waffles for dinner with a quinoa blueberry salad on the side. The blueberries add so much sweetness, and the kids don’t realize what a healthy, well-rounded meal they are eating.

Serve waffles traditionally with scrambled eggs and bacon on the side. Or, how about a warm bowl of low-carb keto oatmeal with a small plate of waffles? Waffles also make the perfect weeknight dinner. You’ve heard of chicken and waffles, and now you can make them yourself at home! Try this air-fried crispy chicken on top of a waffle, covered in maple syrup—heavenly.
