Cornbread waffles are a breakfast staple. Made with just a few basic pantry ingredients in just a few minutes, these tasty waffles are perfect for busy family weeknight dinners!
I was recently gifted a waffle iron and have been on a roll using it! I first made cinnamon roll waffles which were a huge hit but to change things up I decided to make these savory Cornbread Waffles for dinner recently.
Why I love this recipe
- FAST! Making these cornbread waffles takes just 10 minutes! This is my secret weapon for those crazy hectic weeknights!
- They require just a few basic pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand.
- Versatile, you can change up how you serve them to fit your taste or what you have on hand.
Ingredients
- Jiffy cornbread mix (see note below if you don't have any)
- milk
- egg
Step by step
There is not much to this recipe honestly, and once you make it a few times you'll know it by heart.
- Stir together your cornbread mix, egg, and milk in a large bowl.
- Preheat your waffle iron and spray with nonstick spray. Pour the batter into the hot waffle maker, using about ⅓ cup of batter per waffle for a standard size waffle maker. Cook until it stops steaming and the waffle is golden brown and pulls away easily.
That's it! Dinner is served!
Serving suggestions
You can serve these waffles topped SO many ways!
- chili
- pulled pork and barbecue sauce
- shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onion
- fried chicken
- melted butter and maple syrup or honey
- taco style 🌮 : sour cream, corn avocado salsa, chopped cilantro, and diced tomatoes!
- crumbled bacon and diced jalapeños
No Jiffy corn muffin mix?
Make your own corn muffin mix by combining ⅔ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup yellow cornmeal, ⅓ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Whisk it together well then add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and whisk again to distribute it evenly. Then move forward with the recipe as written. (recipe from Food.com)

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.
