Storage
These paleo waffles can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. I like to store mine in a freezer-safe bag with parchment paper in between each waffle. This prevents them from sticking together and makes for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
You can also store these in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend reheating them in the toaster or waffle iron before serving them for the best results.
