How do I store, freeze, and reheat whole wheat waffles?

This is a great recipe to double, cook, and save for later. I’ll often make a double batch of these waffles early in the week, and store half for another meal later in the week.

Make and cook the waffles according to the instructions here. Then, let the waffles cool in a single layer on a wire rack. Once they are totally cool, store them in an air-tight container.

Whole wheat waffles can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 2 months.

To reheat, let frozen waffles thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Place waffles in a toaster to re-crisp and warm before serving.
