Cornbread Waffles have to be one of my favorite things in the whole world. Seriously. They are so easy to make and perfect for serving with a ton of different dishes. And, it doesnโt hurt that Little Buddy has always thought they were the coolest thing ever.

Which means heโs always eaten them and whatever I serve with them! Score!!!
They are delicious served on the side of a big bowl of soup or chili and you can even cut them into cornbread waffle sticks so they are perfect for dunking. Oh man are they delicious.
For the cornbread waffles photographed, I made jalapeno cheddar cornbread waffles. Oh my!
Hereโs my Cornbread Waffles recipe. I think youโll love them.

Iโm kinda late here as I just found your site. How much cheese and jalapeรฑos do you add?
Hi Robyn,
Iโve just finished making these as part of mine and my fianceeโs Shrove Tuesday Feast! I made the cheddar and jalapeno recipe, added in some chopped spring onion and their getting served with smoky, sweet pulled pork. Theyโre so good, I couldnโt help but sneaking in one as a snack while I tended to that waffle iron!
Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Matt,
Okay, I think youโve outdone yourself for this amazing feast! It is making me rethink what Iโd planned for our supper!
Robyn,
Iโm avoiding flour products and have never made cornbread using flour. Will this work using plain cornmeal?
Thanks.
Hi Christi,
There is cornmeal in the recipe, but I also use the flour for texture, etc.
I think these waffles could become of my favorite things too! I canโt wait to try this recipe!
