Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles

March 30, 2023 Amanda Plott

Yes, I’m still very much so in love with my waffle maker. I love sweet waffles. I love savory waffles. I love waffles. With Spring kicking in the door lately, I’ve turned my attention to the bright and vibrant flavors of lemon and berries. These Lemon Poppy Seed Waffles are a perfect transition into Spring. Light and citrusy and made from scratch.

I lightened these waffles up firstly by swapping regular milk for unsweetened almond milk, because you aren’t going to be able to tell the difference here. I also used a whole wheat white flour in place of regular just to get the added bonus points for the whole wheat in there.

Strawberry Shortcake Waffles

February 14, 2023 Amanda Plott

I’ve made strawberry waffles before, but I was in a bit of a rush today so I thought instead of making them from scratch, I’d save some time with a box mix. Also, there’s a trick to packing as much strawberry goodness into baked goods as possible without adding moisture and that’s by way of powder!

I added plenty of dried strawberry powder to my favorite protein packed waffle mix along with some vanilla to doctor it up as well. Now, what really makes this strawberry shortcake waffles is the crumble. It’s the same crumble that they use on those strawberry shortcake ice creams from childhood. You know the ones…

Jalapeno Cheddar Bacon Cornmeal Waffles

Coming in HOT today with these Jalapeño Cheddar Bacon Cornmeal Waffles. Get it. Hot. Jalapeños. These waffles are savory and loosely based on the cornmeal ones that I’ve done before, the only difference being that these here are loaded up with 2 cups of goodies! Bacon, jalapeños, and cheddar - oh my!

Since these waffles are savory instead of sweet, they can be for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even dinner! I decided to have mine for breakfast and paired them with some cooked eggs and plenty of more hot sauce to go along with the spicy syrup…

Blueberry Waffles

I have pretty much been in love with my waffle maker ever since I got it, if you couldn’t tell. I’ve been making all sorts of waffles. Sweet ones, savory ones, some with mixes, others from scratch. I’ve got to say though that these Blueberry Waffles take the cake. They’re made all in one bowl with very real and very simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand.

As I’ve been going through these different kinds of waffles, I’ve been playing around with different amounts and ingredients. These Blueberry Waffles end up being a bit lighter in both color and texture. And the blueberries in there add some texture and just a bit of chew…

Strawberry Waffles

May 19, 2022 Amanda Plott

I took a little bit of extra time this week to make myself some breakfast and I was not disappointed. These Strawberry Waffles were the perfect little bit of summer sweet strawberry to wake up to. I made sure that these waffles were from scratch too. And while they do take a few extra steps to make, they are definitely worth it!

The texture of these waffles is a bit more dense due to all the real strawberry goodness in there. It’s sort of on par with how banana bread is more dense and moist than a standard white bread due to the additional moisture from the fruit. But don’t worry, they still end up crisp on the outside and spongy on the inside!…

Banana Nut Waffles

These Banana Nut Waffles are here to stay. It’s as if banana nut bread and waffles got together and made one ultimate breakfast or brunch bite of awesomeness. And they’re made from scratch (that’s right, no boxed batter here!) It’s good stuff too. That means you get to put what you want and like in there. For instance, I went with chopped pecans AND chopped walnuts.

I like to make a batch of these ahead of time and then keep them on hand through the week to be enjoyed as a quick heat and eat breakfast option. And yes, they do reheat really well via a toaster or toaster oven to get back some of that original crispness!…
