These fluffy eggnog waffles are the perfect holiday breakfast: soft centers, golden edges and a gentle hint of nutmeg. 
Today I’m sharing a favorite seasonal treat featured on Oh Sweet Basil. Breakfast and brunch are highlights of the holidays—there’s something special about a slow morning in pajamas, a warm kitchen and a stack of waffles fresh from the iron.
Waffles are a classic morning comfort. I appreciate the contrast between the tender, fluffy interior and the crisp, golden edges; the waffle’s ridges are ideal for catching plenty of maple syrup or a pat of melting butter. I wanted a version that feels festive without being overly rich, so I developed an eggnog waffle that balances cozy holiday flavors with lightness and texture. 
These waffles get their holiday character from real eggnog, warmed spices and a touch of sweetness. Nutmeg gives a warm, familiar aroma while cinnamon adds depth; a little brown sugar and melted butter encourage those irresistible golden edges. The result is a waffle that tastes like the season but still feels balanced and approachable for everyday holiday mornings.
We loved these eggnog waffles and plan to make them again throughout the season. For the full recipe and instructions, visit the Oh Sweet Basil recipe page referenced in this post to prepare a batch for your next cozy brunch.
