My kids, of course, usually eat waffles with syrup and butter on top, so it took a little work to convince them to try these savory waffles. In the end, both the cornbread waffles and chili were a big hit!
However, you can definitely enjoy cornbread waffles without chili, and simply serve them with butter and honey on top.
What to serve on cornbread waffles:
- Homemade Chili
- Butter
- Jam
- Honey

Hi there-
Can you sub the sugar for honey? And for the milk, can you use buttermilk?
Thank you! Can’t wait to try!
Yes that should work! Enjoy!
This was such a fun way to have cornbread with chili! We all enjoyed it.
Does this recipe make 5 waffles? How many waffles per serving?
5 waffles!
Have you ever made them and frozen them? Or made them in advance?
They freeze great! I reheat them in a toaster oven or in the oven!
Made these and they were delicious. I added shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños. So yummy!
Absolutely wonderful! Easy to make, tasty, and will easily become a go to for me from now on, for any meal. Made my very Swedish version of chili to go overtop, and it was the best thing I’ve had all week. Can’t wait for a leftover waffle sandwich for breakfast!
I made this for company tonight and it was deli. I made it with the chilli from this website which was also excellent….the waffle was a really great compliment to the chilli..
WHOA this looks amazing! Okay, so glad I bookmarked it and I’m actually going BACK through my bookmarks to cook new recipes!
How do you “bookmark” them?
Hi there! If you are on your phone…look at top right there should be 3 dots that open up a menu. It will either say bookmark or have a simple star to add to favorites. You can also alternatively add to your home screen. Best of luck
We made these waffles for breakfast and instead of chili, we put bacon pieces and cheese inside. Life changing! Thank you!
