Sweet ‘n Savory Gluten Free Peach Waffles

Last Updated on May 19, 2020 by Chef Mireille

I have been doing a lot of traveling through Southeast Asia this week via it’s cuisine. You’ve already joined me in my SIngapore and Burma style breakfast and I have another one coming from the same region tomorrow. Today I am presenting an American breakfast, but I decided to adapt some of the culinary traditions of Southeast Asia to an American classic – waffles. One of the reasons Southeast Asian food is beloved by so many is the balance of flavors that is achieved by adding a little spice, a little sweet, a little salt, a little tart – all in one plate! The amalgamation of tastes creates an explosion of flavor in the mouth that is indescribable, yet there is no one flavor that hits you in the face. This is what I tried to achieve in these waffles.

I also made them 100% #wholegrain and #glutenfree by using oat flour and quinoa flour. No need to run out and buy those expensive bags of gourmet flours. I created these flours myself by simply taking the whole grain and whizzing it in my coffee/spice grinder until very fine and ground to a powder.

I love waffles. As a child, we never had a waffle maker so the only times we ever ate waffles was when we ate out. About once a month,we would go out for weekend brunch at Bucaneer Diner, which is still there today. I always had waffles. Pancakes and waffles here in America are generally served with the choice of bacon, ham or sausage to go with it. Since I put some chorizo in the waffle itself, I skipped the meat side in this version.
