Step 3: Lightly grease the preheated waffle maker with cooking spray or brush it with melted butter.

Tips and Tricks:
- For extra protein, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the batter. Just adjust the liquid amount accordingly to maintain the desired consistency.
- To make the waffles even more wholesome, you can incorporate additional mix-ins such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or dark chocolate chips into the batter.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, place the cooked waffles on a wire rack for a few minutes to allow any residual steam to escape.
- Customize your waffles by adding a pinch of cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg, or a sprinkle of your favorite spice blend to the batter.
- Freeze any leftover waffles for later enjoyment. Once cooled, stack the waffles with parchment paper between each layer, place them in a freezer-safe bag, and store them in the freezer. Reheat in a toaster or oven when ready to eat.

FAQ:
Q1: Can I use a different Kodiak Cakes mix for this recipe?
A1: Absolutely! While this recipe is specifically tailored for the Buttermilk & Honey Frontier Flapjack and Waffle Mix, you can experiment with other Kodiak Cakes mix flavors such as Dark Chocolate, Cinnamon Oat, or Protein Packed. The cooking time and liquid amount may vary, so adjust accordingly and follow the package instructions for best results.
Q2: Can I make the waffle batter ahead of time?
A2: Yes, you can prepare the waffle batter in advance. Simply mix all the ingredients together and store the batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, give the batter a quick stir and proceed with the cooking instructions. Note that the batter may thicken slightly after refrigeration, so you can add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency if needed.
Q3: Can I make these waffles gluten-free?
A3: Absolutely! You can make these waffles gluten-free by using Kodiak Cakes Gluten-Free Pancake and Waffle Mix instead of the regular mix. Follow the same instructions and enjoy delicious gluten-free waffles.
Q4: Can I substitute the milk with a non-dairy alternative?
A4: Yes, you can easily substitute the milk with your preferred non-dairy alternative such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. The waffles will turn out just as delicious and fluffy.
Q5: How do I clean my waffle maker?
A5: To clean your waffle maker, allow it to cool completely, and then gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes that could damage the non-stick coating. If your waffle maker has removable plates, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and care.
Q6: Can I freeze the leftover waffles?
A6: Absolutely! Let the cooked waffles cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper between each waffle to prevent sticking. Place the stack in a freezer-safe bag or container and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply pop the frozen waffles into a toaster or place them in a preheated oven until warmed through.
Q7: Can I double the recipe to make more waffles?
A7: Yes, you can easily double or halve the recipe depending on your needs. Just adjust the ingredient quantities accordingly, maintaining the same ratio, and follow the instructions as usual.
Q8: Can I use this batter to make pancakes instead of waffles?
A8: Absolutely! This versatile batter can be used to make delicious pancakes as well. Simply heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat, pour the batter onto the hot surface, and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Enjoy your Kodiak Cakes waffle adventure, and may your mornings be filled with fluffy, flavorful, and delightful waffles!
