Biscuit & Gravy Waffles

November 22, 2021 Amanda Plott

Waffles, waffles, waffles! These waffles are extra special and made with a quick and easy to make biscuit like batter and then topped off with a homemade sausage gravy that takes no time at all to come together. I saw this idea a while back and once I got my waffle maker, I knew it was going to have to be on my list of things to try out.

The biscuit waffle batter is super simple and made with just a handful of pretty standard ingredients. I went with a self-rising flour just because I happened to have it on hand and I knew that it would help fluff these waffles up in just the right way.

I kept these lightened up by swapping in unsweetened almond milk where I could and also by using a turkey breakfast sausage instead of pork. My waffle maker makes REALLY BIG waffles. About a quarter of one of these waffles could stand to be a serving, but I am completely full and satisfied with half of one of these bad-boys.

These waffles ended up crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside while that sausage gravy on top was perfection to the biscuit and gravy goodness!

Biscuit waffles topped off with a tasty homemade lightened up sausage gravy. Yep, that's right, biscuits and gravy in waffle form!

Ingredients

Waffles

2 1/4 C. Self-Rising Flour
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Tsp. Pepper
6 Tbsp. Butter
1 1/2 C. Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 Whole Large Egg

Sausage Gravy

1/2 Lb. Turkey Breakfast Sausage
5 Tbsp. Butter
7 Tbsp. Flour
1/2 Tsp. Seasoning
4 C. Unsweetened Almond Milk

Instructions

Biscuit Waffles

Preheat the waffle iron accordingly.
Stir together the 2 1/4 C. flour, 1/2 Tsp. salt, and 1/2 Tsp. pepper in a medium bowl.
Cut in the 6 Tbsp. butter until a course sand like mixture forms.
Slowly stir in the 1 1/2 C. milk and 1 egg until just coming together.
Spoon or scoop the dough onto the prepared waffle iron, close and cook according to waffle iron instructions. (Mine is right at about 6 minutes.)
Once done, remove from the waffle iron and set aside.
Rinse and repeat the cooking process with all of the batter.

Sausage Gravy

Cook the 1/2 Lb. sausage in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through and browned.
Add in 5 Tbsp. of butter along with the sausage to melt.
Add in the 7 Tbsp. flour and stir to cook for a minute or two to make your roux.
Whisk in the 1/2 Tsp. seasoning and slowly add in the 4 C. almond milk.
Bring it all barely to a bubble, whisking constantly.
Once the gravy starts to bubble, it should be getting nice and thick!
Turn the heat off and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Biscuit & Gravy Pot Pie

August 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

Sometimes you just need a good comforting breakfast. And this Biscuit & Gravy Pot Pie is about as ‘comfort food’ as you can get. With a homemade turkey sausage gravy and biscuit topping, you just can’t go wrong! It’s perfect as a weekend breakfast or brunch. But, it also makes for a pretty good breakfast through the week since it reheats pretty well.

It’s lightened up just a bit by using a turkey breakfast sausage and also unsweetened almond milk in place of other milks. Though, you can really use any sort of milk that tickles your fancy. I just like this almond milk because it gives me more bang for my buck calorie wise…

Chicken Pot Pie Casserole

July 26, 2021 Amanda Plott

Today my daughter is at her first cheer camp to learn all she needs to for cheerleading at her middle school this year. What does that mean? Back-to-School is hot my heels and it’s time to roll out those easy to do one pot dinners. This Chicken Pot Pie Casserole is just that. It gives you all you expect out of a chicken pot pie, but without having for fuss and worry with pie dough!

This casserole starts off with a pretty standard roux that you then add veggies and chicken to. It’s all topped off with some biscuit dough and baked together to make one delicious dinner that’s put together and done in no time at all…

Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Cups

July 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

Biscuits and gravy cups? That’s right! Biscuit dough cups that are filled with an easy to make homemade sausage gravy that makes it all perfectly grab-and-go friendly while also being great for the kiddos! While these Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Cups are cute and even impressive, they are actually really simple and easy to make with just a handful of ingredients.

Since there isn’t a whole lot you can do to lighten up this biscuit part (outside of making your own biscuit dough), I did just about everything I could to make the gravy better-for-you. I started the gravy off with a lean turkey breakfast sausage and then swapped in almond milk for regular milk. I also used a reduced fat cheddar in place of regular…

Healthified Cheddar Bay Biscuits

May 28, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s the first day of summer vacation. I officially have a middle schooler! That’s just crazy to me. You know what else is crazy to me? How easy and cheesy these Healthified Cheddar Bay Biscuits are! You know what bay biscuits are, right? Those tasty crumbly cheesy biscuits they have at that popular seafood chain restaurant. These are my healthified take and those!

How are they healthified? I’m glad you asked! I subbed in some whole wheat to start off with. I also used a reduced fat cheese to lower the calories a bit. Same thing with almond milk in place of regular. And you know what else? Natural sweetener for sugar…
