This recipe could easily have been called “Canadian Waffles,” but that would be a bit weird and stereotypical. Wouldn’t it?
I know that maple syrup isn’t a must-have ingredient in everyone’s pantry, but it always has been in mine. I more-or-less just use maple syrup on my waffles and pancakes (I rarely make the latter, though. I just never got the hang of it), so a small bottle tends to last a long time.
For those of you who have a larger family (than just my family of one), or who enjoy syrup on top of other breakfast foods, I guess I can excuse the fact that you may not have maple syrup lying around. Do yourself a favour—buy some!
So, now that you have “paused” this blog post and gone out to purchase a bottle of maple syrup, let’s get on with the recipe!

I topped these waffles with dairy-free coconut milk ice cream, caramel apple topping, maple syrup, and powdered sugar. I bet it would taste good with fruit or whatever else you prefer. What’s your favourite topping for waffles?
I was recently sent a Breville No-Mess Waffle maker, which I used to make these delicious waffles. I like my waffles on the soft and fluffy side, so I set the dial to 2. I filled the batter and didn’t worry about the excess batter making a huge mess everywhere. You see, there’s a moat around the machine, which allows the excess batter to cook and easily be cleaned up.
