For our anniversary, Chris bought me a waffle maker. Gosh, I love that man! And it was a match made in heaven. I made fluffy buttermilk waffles for The Bigger Bug’s birthday waffle bar and these heavenly, unbelievably EASY cinnamon roll waffles. But surely, waffles don’t just have to be sweet!
So, today? {taste this} and corn bread waffles!!
These start with the little blue box of Jiffy corn muffin mix (if you don’t have this mix in your stores… here is an alternative. I haven’t tried it myself, but it looks like it got good reviews!), require a waffle maker and that’s about it 🙂 So quick and easy that I may never make corn bread muffins again!
Corn Bread Waffle Batter
Yields 6 – 7 waffles
1 package Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 package Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons shortening, melted (I didn’t use this because the recipe didn’t say if it was to put in the batter or on the waffle maker. My waffles came out just fine without it and I saved a few calories!)
Mix the above, use about 1/3 cup batter for each waffle (my waffle maker has 4 square compartments), close your waffle maker, wait until it stops steaming and the waffles easily come away from the grid. Spread with a little butter while they are warm and these corn bread waffles are the perfect partner to your favorite bowl of soup or chili. SO much easier to dip than a crumbly corn bread muffin and just as delicious!

Want a twist? Add shredded sharp cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon or finely diced jalapenos to the batter if you want … these are sure to make any bowl of chili happy! If it’s too hot for chili or soup in your neck o’ the woods, slather these with butter and honey for a pretty amazing breakfast!
Don’t tell my oven, but this summer, the waffle maker may be my new BFF 😉

This is awesome. I have never thought to make waffles out of corn bread. I don’t usually comment on recipe posts (because I don’t cook often) but I love love love corn bread. I am going to have to give these a go!
Thanks

Now that is clever! A warm cornbread waffle to dip in your chili is perfect for cold winter days. Love it!

I never paired to together cornbread and waffles, but it make soooooo much sense next to the chili! Great idea!!
Casey
That sounds great! I love cornbread, and I even like putting syrup on regular cornbread, I bet a waffle will be good! Thanks.

My boyfriend made these last night with his sloppy joe chili recipe…. wow! And it was so easy. The waffles have that golden brown crispy outside and moist cornbread texture throughout and were hearty enough to compliment his meaty chunky chili recipe without becoming a sloppy mess. And they look great on a plate. Can’t wait to serve our friends and family this dish next rainy day brunch or Sunday afternoon game and graze session. We went nuts for em!

I made oven roasted Hawaiian Kalua pork last night. I’m mixing in the leftover pork and topping the waffles with a drizzle of bbq sauce and maple syrup.
