Ingredients You’ll Need

Let’s start with what goes into these magical little waffle sticks. Most of these are pantry staples, which makes things even better.

How to Make Waffle Pops

This recipe makes about 6 waffle pops and takes around 30-40 minutes from start to finish. It’s totally beginner-friendly and perfect for baking with kids.

Step 1: Make Your Waffle Batter

Start by mixing your dry ingredients in a big bowl: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together your egg, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet stuff into the dry stuff and stir until just combined. No need to overmix, just get it smooth-ish.

Now here’s the fun part: color!
If you want to make your waffles different colors, split your batter into bowls depending on how many colors you want. Add a few drops of food coloring to each one and stir. Bright pink, mint green, sunshine yellow, go crazy.

Or you can leave the waffle uncolored and go mad on the decorations.

Step 2: Cook Your Waffles

Heat up your waffle maker (every waffle maker’s a little different, so check your manual).

Lightly grease it if needed, then pour a little batter into the center. This is where you insert your lollipop stick, do it while the batter is still a bit wet so it sets as it cooks.

Close the lid and cook until golden brown and cooked through. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.

Once they’re done, carefully remove and let them cool just a bit. You’ve now got a waffle on a stick and life is good.

Step 3: Make Your Glaze

In a bowl, stir together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. You can make it thicker or thinner depending on what kind of drizzle you’re going for.

Split the glaze into bowls and add your food coloring (if you want multiple colors). You can also keep some plain white, it looks super pretty next to pink or pastel colors.

Step 4: Melt the Chocolate

Place your chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until it’s all melty and dreamy. Don’t overdo it, you want it smooth, not scorched.

Step 5: Dip, Drizzle & Decorate

Here comes the creative part! Dip the tops of your waffle pops into the chocolate. Let any extra drip off.

Then drizzle on your glaze, use spoons, swirl it, zig-zag it or splatter it. Add sprinkles right away before everything sets.

You can also reverse it: dip in glaze first, then drizzle with chocolate. There are no rules in Waffle Pop Land.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

Once decorated, let them sit for a few minutes to set. You can pop them in the fridge if you’re impatient (we get it).

Stand them up in a cute container or lay them out on a platter, either way, they look like something straight out of a bakery window.

Extra Tips for Waffle Pop Success

• No waffle sticks? Use wooden popsicle sticks or even thick paper straws.
• Gluten-free option? Swap in your favorite gluten-free flour blend.
• Dairy-free glaze? Use plant-based milk, easy!
• Make ahead? You can make the waffles the night before and decorate the next day.
