While toaster-oven waffles are sometimes necessary (we all have those mornings, right?), there’s nothing better than homemade waffles to get you ready for the day. And while traditional buttermilk waffles are always a big fat yes in our book, we’re celebrating Waffle Day with some super-creative recipes you’ll want to whip up STAT.
The best part? Not only can these waffle batters be made the night before, they can be served for more than just breakfast, too. Hello, late-night snack!
Read on for three ultra-creative recipes to inspire your breakfast game.

whipped cream
What to do:
Whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, unsalted butter, vanilla and brown sugar. Add flour, baking powder and salt, and stir. Allow the batter to sit. Preheat your waffle iron and cook the waffles. In a bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar, then brush each waffle with the salted butter and dip into the cinnamon mix. Serve with butter, whipped cream and maple syrup!
