Campfire Jaffle Filling Ideas

Who loves a good campfire jaffle? We sure do!

The humble jaffle is much more than bread and a can of spaghetti these days. I’m sure you’ve all tried the classic spaghetti jaffle, or even mixed it up a bit by adding baked beans instead! Jaffles are one of the easiest meals to make whilst camping. Nothing beats the taste of a freshly toasted campfire jaffle!

You can purchase a quality cast iron jaffle iron (also known as a pie iron) at any good camping or recreational store. They are available in a range of shapes and sizes, but we love our OZtrail Jumbo Double Jaffle Iron – great for the hunger buster making two big jaffles at once!

We’ve got a handful of our favourite fillings here, why not give them a whirl next time you’re camping!
