Waffle Iron Brunch Recipes – Easy and At Home

Waffle iron recipes and Sunday Brunch have a special place for me… and you too can make these easy waffles at home.

But I didn’t know that before I had a waffle iron.

Before that, over about a decade, I co-hosted group brunches at DC-area well-known places like Jose Andres restaurants, Le Dipomate, and Founding Farmers that have so much character and scrumptious plates!

And the funny part is that around those same years (when I was not in restaurant chair pose 😊 sitting as a diner), I was BUSY doing the event planning at neighboring restaurants. That took most my waking hours.

So I was around FOOD A LOT and all day…  and that makes a foodie (someone who loves food) happy!

…That could be you too.

These days, I’m inspired to be on the other food side yet again.

This time around, at home I’m making waffle iron brunch recipes and not just consuming them… and adding to a food brunch table to celebrate.

Below you’ll find easy-inspired, delicious and easy waffle iron brunch recipes that consider using healthier ingredients (that are tasty enjoyable).

Below are some of my favorite tasty home waffles, brunch desserts, and simple breakfast food pairings that are fast and easy to whip up.

…And so fast that the waffle iron can toast a piece of bread quicker than on stove top. So it can be a year-round used equipment.

That’s what I’m talking’ about for a lazy slow-start weekend morning where the food is tasty, quick, and easy! …Oh, and with healthier eating inspirations.

Frozen blueberry 🫐 is one of the anti-inflammatory foods that I can’t live without. And wildly great for brunch tables!

Blueberries sub in well in almost any sweet brunch recipe like a crumbly healthy buckwheat blueberry scone.

They’re also a no-brainer (and help to eliminate decision fatigue)… because you can’t go wrong with a bowl of wild blueberries. They’ll go sweetly with waffles any day!

And if you don’t have a waffle maker or waffle iron, I think you will not regret investing in one. They’re fairly low cost compared to other kitchen appliances.

It’s a time saver especially on weekends when you don’t want to turn on the cooktop and you want an easy brunch meal.

It heats up super fast… and voila! you have a sweet waffle AND waffle fries.

And it stores easily in a kitchen drawer or stacks upright and snug with cookbooks. No toaster can claim that. And it can do a toaster’s job I find.

So I hope you enjoy and make your own waffle iron brunch recipes!

[Btw, keep coming back as this brunch recipes page will be added to. 😋]

And for starters, you can make an easy brunch Bearnaise sauce with olive oil that goes with any savory brunch dish like easy poached eggs, potatoes, and pasta. It’s one ‘lil tweak you can do with one-eye open 😜  that will give a French Bistro vibe (without leaving your kitchen)…

Then you can save room for a low-sugar waffle pairing on your brunch desserts and savory food table. 💕 Ready? 

Savory Waffle Iron Brunch Recipes 🧇🧂

You can turn your simple mash potatoes into these fun and tasty waffles (aka the new healthy hash browns!) 🧇 You can make to order and freeze the ones you don’t eat.

Frozen waffles can be brought out about an hour in advance and eaten at room temperature or re-heated. They’re best straight from the waffle iron when they’re most crisp.

Potato waffles pair also well with a healthy and tasty yogurt dip. You can get protein, carb, and veg all on one plate. 🍽️
