The waffle shape was good, but the batter was really doughy and the waffles were very plain. The waffles had absolutely 0 flavor.
Yes they don’t have a lot of flavour, but it makes them perfect for all the waffle toppings such as syrup, whipped cream and fruit! If you want flavour try the Pumpkin spice waffles 🙂
