This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Delaware chapter.

There’s nothing better than Belgian waffles on a lazy Sunday morning. If you own a waffle iron, you’ve probably used it for one specific purpose…waffles. Trust me, this little appliance can handle a lot more than Bisquick batter. These dishes will take your waffle iron to places it has never been before.

1. Cinnamon bun waffles

Cinnamon buns will never be the same.

2. Hash browns

Cook frozen tater tots in a waffle iron to make crispy hash browns.

3. Calzone

Stuff two pieces of already prepared pizza dough topped with jarred tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings for a fun twist on a calzone.

4. Brownies

Ditch the baking dish and pour your brownie batter into a waffle iron. You’ll never have to wait 35 minutes for chocolatey goodness again.

5. Grilled Cheese

Waffle irons are perfect for making a quick grilled cheese.

6. Bacon and egg breakfast

Bacon and eggs cook twice as fast in a waffle iron. This is the perfect breakfast before an 8 am.

7. Quesadilla

As if quesadillas could get more delicious. When made in a waffle iron they get that straight out of the oven taste, in half the amount of time. Needless to say, it’s a match made in heaven.

8. Confetti waffle cakes

Waffle cakes can be made with any type of batter, but is there anything better than confetti cake? Now that your mind is blown and your mouth is watering, go put that waffle iron to work.
