Golden on the outside, light as air on the inside. Full of crispy, crunchy bacon pieces. Honey Cinnamon Butter, a cloud of Cinnamon Whipped Cream, and a drizzle of Honey will melt in your mouth on top of every bite of this scrumptious waffle. These Buttermilk Bacon Waffles with Honey Cinnamon Butter just might be the best waffles of your life!
When my Dad thinks I’m over complicating something, he just loves to ask “Is the juice worth the squeeze?” Well, I give this a resounding “YES”!
Is this the easiest/fastest waffle recipe out there? Nope.
Is this possibly the BEST Waffle Of Your Life? I think so!
So if you are that person, just like me, who thinks a smidgen of addition effort is worth it to get the most mouth watering results possible, you’ve come to the right place!
This sweet, salty, crispy combination was created for one of my family’s favorite things…..Breakfast for Dinner.
Yes, the kids deserved a treat that day, and OK, yes I also didn’t want to run to the grocery store. But let’s just say that this is Christmas Morning worthy!
The waffles are really pretty straight forward. Separating the egg whites and whipping them into soft peaks before folding them into the batter makes for an airy, light waffle. Using buttermilk and vanilla in the batter also elevates the flavor of these waffles. The sprinkle of crisp bacon pieces on top of the batter before the waffle iron is closed makes these seriously extraordinary.
No matter your normal bacon preferences, crispy or floppy, for this recipe, I found crisp to be the best.
Waffle makers tend to vary quite a bit in how long they cook the waffles before the little ‘Done’ light comes on. If the light comes on before these are crispy and golden on the outside, don’t be afraid to ignore the light and continue cooking until they are.
The Honey Cinnamon Butter is just four ingredients whipped together. Cinnamon Whipped Cream is only three ingredients also whipped. Both are quick and easy to prepare and SO MUCH BETTER then plain butter and cool whip. Trust me!
Serve these Buttermilk Bacon Waffles with Honey Cinnamon Butter with a drizzle of honey and the Cinnamon Whipped Cream. Extra Crispy Bacon Slices and a side of Fresh Strawberries are the perfect accompaniments.
