These whole wheat waffles are doused in homemade eggnog cream sauce for a breakfast that is perfect for Christmas (or any!) morning! This really is the BEST waffle recipe!
I did something really bad you guys.
I lied to you.
And not like one of those lies that you call “white lies” which somehow makes you feel better about the face that you’re still LYING.
Nope. I am a full out, lying liar face who wears pants that are ON FIRE and hangs from telephone wires.
I am also reverting back to my youth with the above sentence. But, that is neither here nor there.
Remember about eleventy billion years ago, when I made you what I called “THE BEST WAFFLE RECIPE EVER?”
They weren’t. BUT, I didn’t know that.
So, technically, white lie? Going with it.
The original waffles that I punched your taste buds square in the noggin with were an old secret (except, uhhh, not anymore) recipe that I grew up eating.
And. They were my most favorite meal of all the meals. Even more than GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES.
You know my love for gluten free pancakes guys. It runs DEEP.
UNTIL. An elf landed in my kitchen and dug into his pockets and sprinkled magical happy Christmas yummy dust ALL over them.
And, if you’ve been around here for a while you would know that “magical happy Christmas yummy dust” is obviously code for something. AND, in this case, it’s eggnog.
Let’s chat about the nog of the egg variety shall we? What is your deep and dark thoughts about it? Do you love it’s creamy, sweet and spicy texture.
Or do you love it’s creamy, sweet and spicy texture?
See what I did there? It’s SO good, that you can’t not like it. Because then I would question our friendship. I mean, I would still be your friend, there would just be THIS MUCH space in our friendship bubble instead of THISMUCH.
You get it.
Did you know it’s also really extra super fab with rum? Not that there’s rum in these waffles.
But, you know, it IS always 5 o’clock somewhere. No one ever specified PM or AM ;). For the record.
ANYWAY. SO. I can’t confirm or deny that leftover eggnog in refrigerator happened due to the making of some vegan coconut milk ice cream. (hint: it totally did.) but I wanted to get a little festive.
And nothing brings Christmas cheer to my heart like a big stack of waffley goodness.
OR gluten free pancakes. But, we’re not talking about those for once, we discussed that. They’re taking a BACK SEAT. <— That means business.
Instead of using all milk in the cream sauce of the waffle from back yonder, we did the old SWITCH UPPITY UP and used eggnog. And then added spices like nutmeg and cinnamon.
Because, well, YUM and Christmas and COZY THINGS in your MOUF.
Of course, if you want something gluten free, but still SUPER festive, you could make these paleo gingerbread waffles from Perry’s Plate!
The waffles are crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside, and packed with the smells and tastes that make this season SO NUMMY.
BUT, we don’t stop there my friend. Because here in the land of FFF we go big or go home.
Except. I’m typing this at home. ON MY COUCH.
I’m sitting on a throne of LIES. (name that Christmas movie)
ANYWHO.
Then we pourdousedrizzle the eggnog cream sauce on ALL the things. I mean, TRY to get it mostly on the waffle. BUT, I understand if it lands on your table, in your ears and on your eyebrows from the sheer excitement of what is about to happen in your facial hole.
Not that I am speaking from experience or anything.
You guys. It’s waffles. And egg nog. And it’s what’s for breakfast on Christmas morning.
P.s Yep. It was Elf.
But, when is it not Elf. ALWAYS ON TV.
I’m done.

Julianne @ Beyond Frosting says
December 17, 2014 at 10:13 amThe best part about this is that I won’t have to share the syrup because my boyfriend hates eggnog. #iwin
Taylor Kiser says
December 17, 2014 at 3:50 pmThat DEFINITELY is the best part! Yay for not sharing! Thanks girl!

Stacey @ Bake.Eat.Repeat. says
December 17, 2014 at 3:30 pmThose waffles look delicious! Although, um, I don’t really like eggnog. BUT, I do like it as a flavour IN things so I’m pretty sure I’d still love these waffles. I just wouldn’t drink eggnog alongside them!
Taylor Kiser says
December 17, 2014 at 3:46 pmI am sort of the same. I don’t mind a glass of it, but I much prefer it in things! Thanks girl!!
Justine@CookingandBeer says
December 17, 2014 at 4:28 pmWould it be inappropriate to add liquor to the eggnog cream .. because it’s so happening on top of these adorable waffles! Heading over to check out the recipe now! xo
Taylor Kiser says
December 18, 2014 at 6:07 amHAHA I thought about it! But then it might not thicken 😉 Thanks girl!
Cyndi @ My Kitchen Craze says
December 17, 2014 at 11:03 pmTaylor, these look like the best waffles ever and I thinks its because of that eggnog and the gooey cream sauce! Yummy!! Thanks so much for linking back to my eggnog bread! So very sweet of you. You totally made my day. Pinned for Christmas morning! 😉
Taylor Kiser says

Alanna says
December 18, 2014 at 8:20 amI love pancakes but sometimes I crave reaaallly good waffles…these will definitely satisfy that craving!! I secretly really love eggnog but of course, never drink as much as I intend. Thanks for sharing!!
Taylor Kiser says
December 18, 2014 at 11:12 amI am the same way as you – I buy it, and then sort of forget I did! Thanks Alanna!
Meg @ The Housewife in Training FIles says
December 18, 2014 at 10:26 amOmg Dustin JUST said this morning that he wants to curl up and watch Elf today! We got our first snow today so we clearly I am not leaving my house. Think waffles for brinner!
Taylor Kiser says
December 18, 2014 at 11:11 amWaffles for brinner, it’s a winner! thanks girl!
Holly | Beyond Kimchee says
December 18, 2014 at 5:43 pmToo bad that I can’t access to eggnog where I live now. Otherwise this recipe would have been the perfect one for Christmas morning. Look so good!
Taylor Kiser says
December 18, 2014 at 6:44 pmOh man, that IS a bummer!! Thank you Holly!
chrysta@noshed says
December 18, 2014 at 5:54 pmshut up girl… Eggnog Cream sauce?!..that is to die for! Waffles are definently my thing too. Weird fact about me, Im not really a doughnut or pancake fan…although I do enjoy a good crispy waffle. Eggnog sauce is so super festive and fun too. Super diggin’ it.
Taylor Kiser says
December 18, 2014 at 6:45 pmI am not much for doughnuts either, but i do LOVE me some pancakes! Glad you approve girl – thanks Chrysta!
Sarah @ The Gold Lining Girl says
December 18, 2014 at 9:30 pmElf is playing on a loop basically 24/7 this time of year! Starting, like, Nov. 1. 🙂 LOVE that movie so much. Favorite Christmas movie, for sure! These waffles look AMAZING and you’ve inspired me to get a waffle iron thingy! Might be too late for Santa to bring it for me, but I’m still going to ask! Haha! 🙂
Taylor Kiser says
December 19, 2014 at 6:45 amI pretend to hate it because I have seen it 42048398 times, but I totally do love it!
Hey, Santa is THE MAN, he can get it in time 😉 Thanks girl!
Melanie @ Nutritious Eats says
December 21, 2014 at 9:19 pmlol, you crack me up. So these sound amazing. We do waffles a lot over here, because I am a genius and bought my husband a double JUMBO waffle maker for his birthday a few years ago. I must try these!
Taylor Kiser says
December 22, 2014 at 6:55 amTHAT IS GENIUS! You would totally love them girlfriend – thank you!
