Torill Myre is a local Calgary mom and an inspirational entrepreneur. She founded Torill’s Table, selling a waffle mix based on the traditional Norwegian recipe – and she was named a finalist in the 2019 Mompreneur Award of Canada. In fact, she recently received a Mompreneur Award of Excellence!
I was contacted to try a bag of the waffle mix so I said sure, I’d give it a shot. I actually didn’t have very high hopes because every other package of pre-made waffle or pancake mix I’ve ever purchased has been just okay – never awesome. However, I was actually quite impressed with this waffle mix. I am definitely not very good at using my waffle maker (I over-filled it multiple times, making a giant mess!) but the waffles turned out well.
There are two recipes on the package – one for Norwegian waffles and one for Belgian waffles. I made the Belgian recipe the first time, so I’ll have to try the Norwegian recipe with the remaining mix. I used milk and coconut oil… it’s really nice that the recipe provides you with options – you can use milk or non-dairy milk, and you can use butter or coconut oil.
I think what I liked most about the waffles is that they didn’t just feel like a heavy glob of floury dough in my belly. With oats, almonds and ground flax in the mixture there is actually some nutritional value in these waffles! I ate my first waffles with maple syrup, blueberries, blackberries and bananas. I cooled the remaining waffles on a rack then popped them in a large Ziploc bag for the freezer. They were quick and easy to warm up in the toaster for breakfast before work.
You can also try the gluten-free mix for a few dollars more. Torill’s website includes all the locations in BC, AB and Saskatchewan where you can purchase her mix, but you can also purchase it directly from her website. Online, the prices show $11 for the regular mix and $15 for the gluten-free mix. You can also purchase a recommended waffle iron directly from Torill’s website and sign up for a regular auto-ship so you never run out of mix!
I will be purchasing another bag soon, and I think I’ll be getting each of my family member’s a bag of waffle mix for Christmas this year! This is one product review that I’m happy to have had the opportunity to do!
