Rather than whipping up a batch of fresh waffle batter, just use store-bought brownie mix in your waffle iron instead. Just add the required water, eggs, and oil to your brownie mix then spoon it into the iron and let it cook for 10–15 minutes.

7. Make the tastiest BLTs ever by adding in a bacon lattice.
