Saturday mornings are all about the fancy breakfasts. Week days can feel hectic and rushed and who has time for a made from scratch breakfast anyway? But weekends are tailor made for homemade waffles, and this recipe is just amazing. 

Churro waffle batter is made from scratch for a light airy waffle with the right amount of crispiness on the outside. It truly is delicious all by itself. Top your waffle with a caramel sauce and you will have an out of this world experience. It’s a bold statement, we know. But these really are THAT good.

  • Are Caramel Churro Waffles breakfast or dessert?

    Yes. They are everything and anything. OK, that might be a stretch, but these really do work as either breakfast or dessert. If you are the type to need a more balanced breakfast, just cook up some eggs on the side, add some fresh fruit, and you’ve got an amazing breakfast on your hands.

  • Oil vs. Butter:

    The topic of oil vs melted butter in waffles has been highly debated over the years. You can always experiment and see which you prefer, but especially in this churro waffle, we recommend sticking with the melted butter as called for.

  • Caramel Sauce:

    You can find caramel sauce in your local grocery store’s baking aisle. Common brands you might find are Ghiradelli and Smuckers. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, you could always make some from scratch!
