• Egg – Adds nutrients and protein to the waffles
• Whole milk – You can use any kind of milk or swap it for non-dairy milk. I prefer whole milk because of all the important nutrients like Vitamin D, Omega-3, Protein, Calcium, and has full fat to keep your body full and satisfied.

• Sea salt – I like using natural salts like sea salt or real salt.

• Fruit – Mix in strawberries, blueberries, bananas, or any other fruit into your waffle batter or add on top of your waffles.
• Protein powder or collagen – Add a scoop of protein powder into the batter for extra protein. I love this protein brand and this collagen brand.

How to store leftover sourdough waffles?

If you have extra waffles leftover or want to meal prep. Make sure to let the waffles cool completely before storing. When you are ready to eat them. Pop the waffles in a toaster or microwave.

To freeze: Place waffles on a sheet pan and place in the freezer for an hour. Once the waffles are frozen place them in a bag or freezer-safe container. These waffles last 3-4 months in the freezer.

To refrigerate: I like to store mine in a tortilla warmer in the fridge because it makes reheating the waffles much easier. Another option is to use an air-tight container or reusable ziplock bag. They last for up to 3 days in the fridge.
