Weird. Eggy and sweet and sorta like a waffle. The bacon part was interesting so I’d be willing to cook the bacon and toss it in a different recipe but this one was odd. Edible. Okay, but odd.
YUM. but took out the bacon but other wise good without bacon but add cinnamon they are perfect and kinda fluffy
Yummy. I split the recipe in half and they came out wonderful. This will definitely be my new waffle recipe
Love a good waffle, and these certainly filled the bill. Thanks Alisan for posting this recipe that is now part of our breakfast rotation.
Great recipe! Crispy and light texture. It yielded a nice amount of waffles. Family loved it! Thnx
My family enjoyed it, but it seemed like a lot of work for minimal flavors. I’d rather make waffles, crumble bits of maple bacon on top, and then finish with syrup, as opposed to following this recipe. Others may enjoy it, but I doubt I’ll make it again.
I’ve made this recipe with brown sugar and without, I love the brown sugar bacon if….. I am serving the bacon as a side along with eggs. But…..brown sugar bacon gets “lost” in the waffles especially if you are putting syrup on the waffles, which we always do since the syrup is from our own maples. I don’t want to add brown sugar when it is not noticeable, I’ll keep mine separate from my waffles, both are delicious just not together.
I made this recipe as written and was very pleased with the results. Super yummy! I really liked having the bacon baked into the waffle. Here are my thoughts for next time… 1. Make the brown sugar bacon the day before. I wasn’t prepared for how sticky the bacon would be and it took a bit longer to chop than I expected. 2. Make more bacon than listed. Isn’t everything better with bacon? 3. I’ll add more brown sugar to the batter. 4. I might take the easier route and simply use Bisquik and add the bacon,vanilla, and brown sugar.
This is fun dessert and easy to make.
I made it as stated, and it was delicious! Definitely need to use a Belgium waffle iron. I think I got about 10 waffles out of it, so it makes a lot! I made them all up and then reheated them for the next several breakfasts.
Loved it, shared it nothing but love in response. Despite some extra bacon (2 strips) the waffle was light and fluffy. Great submission. M
These waffles are absolutely delicious! I froze the leftovers (I live alone) and they reheat perfectly in the Airfryer!
As a bacon affectionado .. there isn’t enough bacon in the recipe. Nice waffle batter.. but I think I will leave the bacon to the side and enjoy it that way!
It was amazing and easy to make the Boy Scouts who liked it
Delicious
I tripled the recipe so I could freeze some of them.
High in sodium, but yummy. I think that the next time I make it, I’ll halve the recipe, but use the 8 strips of bacon.
Did not like the texture. Caramelizing the bacon was great and will try that way again.
YUM!! Made just as recipe is written and EVERYONE devoured them — even my picky, VERY picky – godson! FANTASTIC,!

I made it with Aunt Jemina Pancake Mix Original. Just cut the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, Buttermilk, and vegetable oil. Use what the box ask for and add everything else but the cut items.
