    Funfetti Cake Waffles

Dessert for breakfast, or breakfast for dessert = I’m in! This shortcut recipe to making waffles is a dream. Think of all the possibilities. Cake Waffles have opened my eyes to a whole new world.

    Funfetti Cake Waffles. Breakfast or dessert? Who cares?

    This breakfast recipe (or dessert recipe) is so easy. We have skipped all the steps of normal waffles (measuring out flour and baking powder, salt and soda and sugar).

    When there is a perfectly good box cake mix in your pantry, there is no need for all the fuss.

    The next time you spot some cake mix on sale, grab a box or two for the future you who wants cake batter waffles. For those sleepy-Sunday mornings when you want to surprise the kids. For Monday nights when you need a treat after dinner.

    Whenever that waffle urge starts calling your name, this easy cake waffle recipe will be there.

    Don’t you love funfetti sprinkles? We love these awesome little funfetti stars.

    May I take a moment here and share with you some crazy-good flavor combinations for cake waffles?

    • Chocolate cake mix with chocolate chips = genius.

    Let’s take this moment to realize that cake waffles are about to take your breakfast game to a whole new level.

    Toppings are up to you. You can play it straight and use regular maple syrup. Excellent choice.
