Copycat Recipes: Mickey Waffles

Seriously, I don’t know a single person who has tried Mickey Waffles and not loved them! While we try to enjoy as many new Disney snacks and meals as possible whenever we visit, we always make a point to have at least one classic DisneyWorld breakfast complete with those light, crunchy and not-too-sweet Mickey Waffles.

For those who haven’t been lucky enough to try them at the parks, they have the texture of a Belgian waffle – crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside – however, they aren’t sweet like Belgian waffles so you can add all of your favorite indulgent toppings without it being too sweet.

Because as far as I’m concerned, you can never have too much of a good thing – I’ve bought an amazing waffle maker and learned how to make Mickey waffles at home… and we make them quite a bit!

While we’ve perfected a from-scratch recipe… I have a secret to tell you.

Those Disney waffles? The ones everyone says taste worlds better than any waffles they’ve ever had before? They are made with a mix. And it’s the same mix that many of us have used at continental breakfasts across the US – Golden Malted Waffle Mix.

They come in both the standard and a gluten-free mix, so even gluten-free families can enjoy these waffles at home. I’ll still share the from-scratch recipe below… but I’ll tell you, the Golden Malted mix is just as good – and a heck of a lot less work!

Regardless if you make them from a mix or from-scratch, you will want to invest in a good-quality Mickey Waffle maker. I tried a cheap $30 model and even with the same recipe, it yielded soft waffles that were more like pancakes. You need a waffle iron that gets to and holds the right temperature – about 350F – which the cheaper models simply don’t do.

Quick Tip: Make more than you need! I always make a few extra, wrap and then freeze in ziptop bags. Then, we’re all set for a lazy morning complete with Mickey Waffles the next time we get a craving – just pop them in the toaster and enjoy!
