What’s Needed to Make Croffles?
This croffles recipe is truly made with just 1 ingredient and a waffle maker, plus you’ll want to add some toppings for a little extra for flavor.
You’ll need 1 package of croissant dough that makes 8 rolls. Alternatively, you can also use refrigerated crescent roll dough.
How to Make Croffles in a Waffle Maker
Croffles are pretty much the easiest breakfast whip up. No measuring out ingredients, no mixing, no mess! These are effortless, simply shape the dough, and pop it in the waffle iron!
- Prep Dough: Open your croissant dough and separate each croissant section. Roll each croissant into the croissant shape.
- Cook: Heat a waffle iron and place a croissant into the waffle iron and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Top them with your favorite waffle toppings and enjoy!
Cooking Tips
- Depending on the size of your waffle maker and the size of the croissants, you may want to place 4 in the waffle iron.
- Another option is to add berries, banana slices, or even something savory, like eggs and cheese on the dough before rolling it up. This way your croffles will be stuffed with the filling. Just be sure not to add too much filling!
Topping Ideas
Croffles are irresistible and a fun way to switch up your classic waffle breakfast! Here are some delicious toppings to try:
- Syrup: Buttermilk syrup, maple syrup, cinnamon syrup or blueberry syrup for major deliciousness.
- Jam: Like a croissant you can add a smear of homemade strawberry jam!
- Fresh Berries: We love adding sweet raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries over the top.
- Powdered Sugar: Sprinkle some powdered sugar over the top for a little extra sweetness!
- Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of whipped cream for extra decadence!
Storing Leftovers and Freezing
- Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Freezer: Store the cooked croffles in the freezer in an airtight container for up to a month.
- Reheating: To reheat, wrap a croffle in a paper towel and microwave for 1 minute.
