Remember my Only in Texas series? Well, I have another post for you 
Anybody who has ever been in Texas (or has met a Texan) knows that state pride runs deep here. Tattoos are popular in general – and not only the Christian Cross ones! I’ve seen countless tattoos of the Texas flag or the Texas state outline. That’s commitment, people! The newest trend: Texas waffles. When I first saw them at a hotel a few years ago, I thought they were a weirdly shaped bunny. My friend laughed and pointed out that it was actually the shape of Texas. Duh! In my defense, the outline of the hotel waffle was a lot less clear than the one below… At least that’s what I’ll go with. You won’t find me getting a Texas tattoo anytime soon, but waffles? I can totally get on board with that!
Ever since my first encounter with that delicious Texas waffle in San Angelo, I’ve seen Texas waffles pop up in many hotels and motels around the state. I am thrilled every time I mean, come on… it’s a Texas waffle! Apparently, I’ve been pretty obvious in my obsession, because Marco got me a Texas shaped waffle maker for Christmas Since we’ve gotten back from our trip (waffle-free – except a delicious Belgian waffle at one of the Cologne Christmas markets), we’ve been trying different recipes on the weekends and I’m experimenting with homemade fruit syrups. So good! My favorite combination so far is a waffle that substitutes yogurt for milk (in the dough) topped with bananas, blueberries, and blueberry syrup. Guten Appetit!

I love them! I always had such fun eating them when we were on the road… and with my new waffle make the novelty has not worn off yet, so I still keep smiling when I make them at home. Such a fun idea! Marco told me though that if we leave the US, we can’t use it anymore because the waffle makers aren’t meant to work with European electricity
AWESOME gift! I love this!!!! My favorite waffles include chopped up bananas with chocolate chips. YUM!
Bananas and chocolate chips? Sounds delicious! Have to try it. Or maybe I’ll liquify the chocolate first and pour it over? Hmmm, getting hungry
How cool! Especially that they have a waffle maker just for that shape

I know, right? Gotta love Texans and their state pride
The funny part of though that none of my Texan friends have one of them at home, but Marco and I as the two foreigners do

Me too
Bei uns gab’s die frueher immer mit Sauerkirschen und Sahne. Superlecker!
Yuumm, delicious waffles! I think having shaped waffles adds to the fun moment of eating a waffle!
Totally! Makes it that much more fun. Don’t know why there aren’t more waffle makers out there with all sorts of shapes. I could see cute animal shapes being a hit
I LOVE Texas shaped waffles! We got married in Austin before we even lived here, and the Fairfield Inn has the waffle makers up near Arboretum.
