What the AI looks for in Frozen Waffles
- Protein and fibre
- Compare grams of protein and fibre per serving on the label. Protein and whole-grain lines differ sharply from classic waffles. These two numbers decide whether a waffle holds you until lunch.
- Gluten-free certification
- If you have celiac disease, look for a certified gluten-free label, not just 'made without wheat'. Certification addresses the risk of cross-contact.
- Added sugar
- Check added sugar on the label. Flavoured, chocolate chip and syrup-filled varieties are higher. Syrup is usually added on top anyway.
Brands that matter
- Eggo: The benchmark for classic frozen waffles.
- Kodiak: Makes protein-forward whole-grain waffles.
- Van's: Specialises in gluten-free and whole-grain waffles.
- Nature's Path: Makes organic frozen waffles.
What to avoid
- Boxes where the waffles are frozen together in a block, a sign they thawed and were refrozen
- Microwaving waffles that are meant for the toaster, because they turn limp
Questions
Toaster or oven?
A toaster gives the crispest result for one or two waffles. Use an oven or air fryer for a batch.
