Waffles perfectly toe the line between crispy and fluffy, their design makes them the perfect vehicle for too much syrup, and they can be sweet or savory-they're equally delicious topped with an egg as they are with a swirl of whipped cream. Waffles are, in a word, perfection. The only drawback with waffles is that you absolutely need a waffle iron to make them. You just can't achieve that classic waffle texture and design without one. Luckily, they're pretty affordable across the board. And they're extremely easy to use: Add your dough of choice, let it cook for a few minutes, and just like that, it's waffle time. Whether you have a waffle iron already or I've convinced you to get one, you'll need some recipes to put it to use. These waffle ideas are just as delicious as what you'd get at a diner, and they're healthier, too! Ingredients like Greek yogurt and quinoa pump up the protein and fiber, and some of them even pack in a serving or two of vegetables. Turns out, it's way, way easier to eat healthy when your food is in waffle form.
