What Is The Best Bacon To Use For Maple Bacon Waffles
You want to use quality bacon. Just cook it up until it is nice and crispy. You don’t want it to be soft, as it will leave a chewy texture to your waffle.
Crispy is best and then you will chop it up really fine or even pulse it in a food processor. If you leave big pieces, it will offer a different texture to your homemade waffles.
Waffles and bacon are a great combo, so why not add bacon into your waffle mix.
How To Make Bacon Waffles
- Start by cooking up your bacon until it is crispy, then chop up really fine or place in a food processor. Set aside.
- Now you want to whip up your egg whites until fluffy. Add in sugar and mix.

Why Do You Flip Waffles
You will find some waffle irons will have you flip the batter after you have cooked it for a short time. The reason being is that some waffle irons need to be flipped for it to spread the batter evenly.
You can use less batter when you flip as it spreads and creates the perfect waffle.
Can I Make These Waffles With Waffle Mix
If you want to make bacon waffles with a waffle mix, you can do that. Then add in the crumbled bacon, nutmeg, and applesauce. This is going to help give your waffles a similar flavor.
I find that a homemade waffle mix is best but you can try using a boxed waffle mix if you prefer to cut a corner. You might need to use less applesauce so it doesn’t make your waffles to liquidy.
