Let’s talk waffles, but not just any waffles. I’m talking about waffle pops. Yes, waffles on a stick. Like cake pops, but breakfast-y, drizzled in glaze, dipped in chocolate, and sprinkled with sprinkles.

 These little cuties are fun to make, easy to customize, and guaranteed to make you feel like a Pinterest queen, even if you're really just winging it with a cup of cold coffee in one hand.

Whether you’re looking for a fun breakfast idea, something adorable for a sleepover, or just a way to jazz up a regular weekend brunch, waffle pops are your new best friend.

Easy Waffle Pops

Why Waffle Pops Are Great

1. They’re FUN.
I mean, anything on a stick is automatically more exciting. It’s science. Add some colorful glaze and boom, you’ve just turned breakfast into a party.

2. They’re kid-approved.
Even my picky one who claims she’s “not hungry” in the mornings will scarf these down. And when kids can help decorate them? Game. Over.

3. Perfect for parties.
Think slumber parties, birthday brunches, even Easter morning. You can make a bunch, stand them up in a cute mason jar, and watch the kids go nuts. Bonus: they look way fancier than they actually are. Shhh, I won’t tell.

4. No forks or plates needed.
Becausewe don’t need one more dish to wash, right?

The Waffle Pop Recipe

Here’s everything you’ll need to make about six adorable lollipop waffles. You can double or triple it for a crowd.

Ingredients

For the Waffle Batter:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup almond milk (or whatever milk your crew drinks)
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk (adjust as needed)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pink food coloring (or any color your little heart desires)

For the Chocolate Dip:

• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, or dark, whatever you’ve got)

Other Goodies:

• Lollipop sticks or stiff skewers
• Sprinkles (optional, but let’s be real, you’re gonna want them)

Step-by-Step

1. Make That Batter!

Start by grabbing two bowls (yep, just two). In one, whisk your dry stuff: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In the other, mix the egg, almond milk, oil, and vanilla.
Now pour the wet into the dry and stir until it’s just combined, no need to beat it.

Divide the batter into separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each. My kids go wild for pastel rainbow waffles.

2. Waffle Time!

Heat up your waffle maker. Give it a light spray of cooking oil if it needs it.
Pour a small amount of batter in (enough for a mini waffle) and insert your stick before it’s fully cooked, this helps it stay in place once it sets.
Close the lid and cook until golden and slightly crispy, about 3–5 minutes.

3. Mix Your Glaze

Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. If it’s too thick, add a tiny bit more milk.
Split the glaze into two bowls. Add a drop or two of pink food coloring to one and stir. You can do more colors if you’re feeling ambitious (or have helpers begging to mix).

4. Chocolate Dip Magic

Toss your chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth and dreamy. No lumps, no burns.

5. Time to Decorate!

Now the fun begins. Dip the tops of your waffle pops in melted chocolate and let any extra drip off.
Then drizzle with glaze, or dunk the whole thing if you’re going for max sweetness. Add sprinkles, crushed nuts, shredded coconut, whatever makes your heart happy.

Serving Ideas

You can stick the waffle pops upright in a container filled with rice or dry beans to keep them in place. Or lay them flat on a tray with parchment paper if you don’t mind a little glaze mess.

Here are a few ways we’ve served them in our house:

• Breakfast buffet style: Stack them on a platter and let everyone grab their own. Add fruit and yogurt cups for balance (you know, pretend we’re fancy).
• Slumber party snack table: Set out toppings and let the kids dip and decorate their own! Keeps them busy and gives you a minute to breathe.
• Holiday brunch: Make a pastel version for Easter, or red and green for Christmas morning.
• Afternoon treat: Surprise your kids after school with waffle pops and hot cocoa. You will officially become Mom of the year (at least for the day).

Clean-Up Tips (Because You Know It’s Coming)

Okay, yes, there will be sprinkles on the floor and sticky fingers everywhere. But the smiles are worth it.

A few tricks to keep things manageable:

• Use a baking tray under the decorating area to catch drips and mess.
• Keep baby wipes or a damp cloth nearby for quick cleanups.
• Let the kids help with the decorating.

Waffle pops are one of those magical things that feel like you really went all out...but they’re secretly so easy. They’re cute, fun, and ridiculously tasty. And best of all, they turn a regular morning into something special.

I’ve made these on a random Sunday just because we had time. I’ve made them for birthday mornings. I’ve even made a mini version just for myself on a quiet afternoon, because hey, we deserve treats too.
