Today is National Waffle Day, and we’re celebrating with one of our favourite roadside diner treats and campfire breakfasts: delicious, magical, homemade waffles. We’ll be sharing some of our favourite recipes, tools, tricks for making fluffy treats as well as some of our favourite local spots in the state to enjoy waffles on the way to your next big adventure. Check it out!

Great Campfire Friendly Waffle Makers

Make the best campfire waffles of your life with Rome’s 1405 Waffle Iron Steel and Wood Handles. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and reasonably priced for the durability! Makes great regular waffles with deep pockets, making it easy to use boxed mixes with minimal ingredients. No futzing and fooling with ratios, just easy-peasy and ready in minutes once you pre-heat it on the coals.

The NordicWare 15040 Cast Aluminum Belgium Waffle Maker is another excellent waffle maker. Works well on gas camping stoves to give you crisp, fluffy, evenly baked waffles every time! No need to connect it to a power source or even worry about complicated clean up – you can soak it, wipe it, and you’re ready to rock thanks to its non-stick coating.

Terrain’s Cast Iron Waffle Maker is perfect for outdoor fire pits, campfire cooking, and brunch at the beach with your friends! The long handle makes it easy to cook your breakfast safely, and the sturdy, classic cast iron finish makes it easy to clean up with just soap and water. Preheat it over the flame or coal grill, pour your batter in, and get to it!

If you’re planning on some romantic getaways with your special person, why not step up your romantic game with the Sweetheart Waffle Maker from Victorian Trading Co. It even comes with a recipe included!

The Rome Industries Old Fashioned Waffle Cast Iron Maker is only 6.7” in diameter and it’s perfect for campside cooking. It’s an affordable campfire friendly traditional style wafflemaker.

The Texsport Outdoor Cast Iron Waffle Maker is excellent for big, fluffy campfire waffles that cook evenly thanks to the cast iron stand that keeps it steady and flat in the fire. The convenience of thick wooden handles makes it a sturdy, easy to hold option as well.
