Making waffles from scratch is a fun project for lazy weekend mornings, but a great waffle mix is also a handy thing to keep stocked in your pantry for when you're short on time, hosting a brunch party for a crowd, or just want to save yourself some mixing and measuring. Wondering about the best waffle mix brands? This list has you covered. You'll find 12 of the best store-bought waffle mixes you can get right now—and there's something for every kind of waffle lover.
Homemade or not, a great waffle should be crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. These waffle mixes will deliver on that, and then some. There are plenty of just-add-water mixes that you can prepare in a pinch, while others call for a few additional ingredients, such as eggs, milk, or oil, to really rival homemade waffles. Some of the brands cater to specific waffle preferences or dietary restrictions: You'll find European-style Belgian waffle mixes and buttermilk waffle mixes, as well as waffle mixes that are gluten-free, paleo-friendly, organic, or 100 percent whole grain. Some of these mixes even double as pancake mixes or can be used as a base for baked goods like cookies, cakes, and muffins.
Once you've picked the best waffle mix, heat up one of the best waffle makers, and you'll be brunching in no time!
