Friends. FRIENDS. These waffles. These Jalapeño Cornbread Waffles with roasted garlic, freshly chopped rosemary, and topped with all the avocado, roasted tomatoes and maple syrup. These savoury waffles deserve, absolutely deserve, a place in your breakfast, brunch, or breakfast for dinner life routine. This will, most definitely, blow you away with its flavour, taste and absolute ease to make. These were the easiest waffles I’ve ever made, and they will have you feeling like a waffle queen/king.
I first tried the new Silk® Protein Nutmilk back in December, and I fell in love with just how creamy, and smooth it was. The combination of almond milk + cashew milk really took the creaminess over the top while keeping it light in everything you use it in. Naturally, I was so excited to use it again, this time to show how easily it subs into your favourite recipes, while adding 10g of protein. YES, 10g! That means that your delicious, gluten free and vegan breakfast will keep you full and nourished all morning long. I kind of ran around the house, holding it in my hand, wondering what recipe I would try it in first to show you all. As soon as I opened my fridge and saw the cornmeal & gf flour (flour keeps longer in the fridge), I knew I had to make these cornbread waffles for you.
So, the Mr. and I have been making waffles for breakfast for about, well, the last 4 months. Not every single morning, but when we do, it automatically becomes the best morning ever. If you’re new to savoury waffles, this is something that you will try and most definitely love. When it comes to these Jalapeño Cornbread Waffles, for example, they’re simply cornbread, in a new, absolutely divine and tasty way, that allows you to naturally, put all your favourite toppings on top. Truthfully, it almost seems as if cornbread was made for waffles. You drizzle maple syrup on your cornbread? You do the same over these waffles. That “sweet heat” combination is to die for. Then, when you think it can’t get better, add a little hot sauce on top of it all. Oh my, we’re in waffle heaven now.
These waffles really make any meal you add them to, top notch. They’re sweet, spicy, savoury and SO stunning in flavour, texture and taste. The waffles are crunchy on the outside and so fluffy on the inside. The jalapeño adds a divine kick to it, and the rosemary adds a lovely subtle flavour to them. None of the flavours compete with each other, but instead, meld perfectly. Best part? They actually kept me full thanks to the 10g of protein that the Silk® Protein Nutmilk adds to these waffles. I love that the protein is made 100% from peas, too, while keeping the batter nice and fluffy. Case in point – I had these for dinner too, and 5 hours later, I’m still comfortably full. Give these beautiful Jalapeño Cornbread Waffles a try friends. Feel free to switch things up – basil instead of rosemary would be divine too, and you can add even more toppings on the waffles, like vegan sour cream. Can you imagine vegan coconut bacon on top of these? Let me know what amazing combinations you try!
