If you’re a Disney fan, you must try these delicious Mickey waffles! Light and fluffy waffles in a fun Mickey Mouse shape for the perfect family breakfast.
Mickey Waffles
We’re big Disney fans at our house, and the Mickey waffles at Disney are one of our favorite foods to enjoy at the park. We even had them every morning when we were on our Disney cruise. So, after trying multiple waffle recipes, I finally found one that tastes just like the original!
These waffles are so light and fluffy and taste delicious even without all of the toppings. But, of course, syrup, berries, and whipped cream always make it better! 😉
Mickey Waffles
This delicious waffle recipe makes the perfect light and fluffy Mickey waffles. Works for any waffle maker!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups whole milk We often use 2% and it works fine too.
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- salted butter, melted (for coating waffle maker) NOTE: Using cooking spray on your waffle iron can ruin so the non-stick coating, so stick with butter!
Instructions
-
Preheat your waffle iron.
-
Add egg whites to a mixing bowl. Using the whisk attachment on a mixer, whip on high for about 5 minutes until stiff peaks form.
-
In another bowl, hand whisk together egg yolks, oil, milk, and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar and mix until combined. Fold in the egg whites using a spatula.
-
Using a brush, lightly coat the waffle maker with the melted butter. Fill with batter depending on the size of your waffle maker. Cook according to your waffle maker instructions.
-
Repeat with remaining batter.
Recipe Notes
If you're serving all of the waffles together and need to keep them warm, preheat the oven to the lowest temperature. Place any finished waffles on a cooling rack on a baking sheet and keep in oven until all of the waffles are done.
If you don’t want to make your own batter, you can actually purchase the actual waffle mix that Disney uses. It’s called Carbon’s Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour and you can find it on Amazon.
Where to Buy a Mickey Mouse Waffle Maker
There are a few different styles of Mickey waffle makers out there at various price points This 90th Anniversary Mickey Mouse waffle maker from Shop Disney is probably the cream of the crop and has the exact Mickey face that you’d find at the park. {You can also find this model at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for a few dollars cheaper if you’re a member.} While it’s a little more expensive than the other ones, it makes 6 waffles at a time and is perfect if you’re feeding a larger crowd.
If you’re short on kitchen space, a smaller model might suit you better. You can find various single waffle Mickey waffle makers on Amazon or Bed, Bath and Beyond. Some have an actual Mickey face and others just have the Mickey shape. This is the Mickey waffle maker that we have. For some reason it’s cheaper on the Canadian site if you’re able to order from there. {Which is super strange as things are never cheaper on the Canadian site!!} They even have a cute Minnie Mouse waffle maker! And if you really don’t want another waffle maker, you could always make regular waffles and use a Mickey cookie cutter to make Mickey shapes.
What do I do with leftover waffle batter?
We really only make big breakfasts on the weekend, so I like to make extra batter that we can use throughout the week for fresh waffles on the go. Leftover batter can be refrigerated for 2-5 days {assuming the ingredients that you used don’t expire in this time}. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge. You could also make up the extra waffles and store the cooked waffles in the fridge or freezer, but I love having mine fresh out of the waffle maker.
I hope you enjoy these just as much as we do! And remember that waffles aren’t just for breakfast! Breakfast for dinner is always fun and you can always play around with the toppings. I love these with ham and cheese!
