Vanilla Yeasted Waffles with Roasted Peach Maple Syrup.
[pittsburgh friends! i’m signing books tomorrow – saturday sept 6 – at south hills village barnes and noble. come play!]
AND cinnamon honey butter. Ohmahgah.
It’s September! Am I still allowed to talk about peaches? I mean, if I can find good ones here, you can probably find them almost… anywhere?
Well, if anything, you still have a couple days or so to live up the rest of the peaches before they go into hiding. LIVE IT UP. You need to start saving up for winter anyway.
Something I’ve become over the last few months is a total breakfast carb freak. I mean, yeah, I’ve always liked pancakes and stuff but I usually prefer to have some eggs or something like that – especially so I don’t fall face first into the hardest food coma ever. Or even eggs with a pancake or two. BUT! Ever since popping this little bun in the oven I’ve wanted all the pancakes and waffles to exist ever in the universe.
Give me all of the pancakes and nobody will get hurt.
A few weeks ago I had these perfect pancakes at Marty’s Market and they came complete with a HUGE hunk of cinnamon butter on top. And the pancakes were all hot and steamy and this pile of butter was melting all over the sides and it was just… just…heavenly. So I’ve wanted the cinnamon butter ever since, it was basically all I could think about. Eddie makes pancakes every Sunday and I’ve thought about whipping it up for that, but I’m usually stuck in the corner of the couch refusing to move like a lump because it’s the one time of the week that I don’t cook a darn thing.
P.S. it’s fabulous.
So anyhoo, that’s where the butter came from. The peaches came from my still out of control fruit obsession – it HAS to be because it’s just so hydrating and juicy – and all I could think of was fluffy waffles with these caramly roasted peaches in syrup and tons of cinnamon. Plus, I’m still seeing an overabundance of peaches at the farmers market and I secretly wish it would last forever. The good news is that your peaches don’t have to be *perfect* (which is impossible to find anyway, right?) because you’re going to roast the heck out of them.
I’m not sure if I can eat any other waffles now. I want yeasted waffles all the time – they are absurdly fluffy and like a big fat cloud that I want to take a nap on but also that I want to cover in sugar and butter and cut into itty bitty pieces and savor. They have the slightest yeasted flavor, but in a totally good way if you know what I mean. In a sense they remind me of the Belgian waffles we could make in college, where you’d have to stand for like eight minutes waiting to cook your waffle in the single iron during breakfast or brunch, and quite possibly while you’re atrociously hungover which made it taste like the best waffle in all the land.
You get me?
This is kind of like my final summer hurrah because even though it will stay warm and lovely for another few weeks, the peaches will be gone and I’ll be left with the produce rejects. But it’s okay because it means make way for BUTTERNUT SQUASH! Some people lose their mind over pumpkin, I lose mine over butternut squash. You don’t even want to know. (but you do so.)
Now let’s have brunch?
Vanilla Yeasted Waffles with Roasted Peach Maple Syrup
Ingredients
vanilla yeasted waffles
- 1 1/2 cups warm whole milk
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
roasted peach maple syrup
- 3 peaches, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups maple syrup
cinnamon honey butter
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
vanilla yeasted waffles
- In a bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter and honey. Add the yeast on top and stir, then let sit until foamy – about 15 minutes. Stir in the flour and salt until combined, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla paste. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise for an hour before cooking. If desired, you can place in the fridge overnight and cook the next morning. In this house, I like to make the peach syrup and the butter.
- Heat your waffle iron to the desired setting and add batter to the waffle maker. The yeasted waffles take a little longer than non-yeasted, so allow 5 minutes or so for each waffle. When ready, serve with the peach syrup and cinnamon butter!
roasted peach maple syrup
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the chopped peaches on the baking sheet and toss with the coconut oil, cinnamon and salt. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping once or twice, until softened and caramely.
- Place the maple syrup in a saucepan over low heat and add the peaches (and any extra juice on the baking sheet). Heat over low heat until ready to serve.
cinnamon honey butter
- Mix the ingredients together in a bowl until combined. Store in the fridge until you finish it up!

YUM! I love that Eddie makes you pancakes on Sundays. These waffles look outrageous and spectacular. Almost as spectacular as your book which I read cover to cover last night. Girl, you killed it! I wanted to make everything at 11pm! Congrats again!
This look so delicious ,too bad, I just ate banana bread, but there’s always lunch!
I just froze some cut up peaches with one of those food savers I borrowed from my brother,that is a fun gadget!
P.S. I did read your book and you did it!
You say something about every recipe, the writing is very comfortable and inviting. I This will be one of my cookbook bibles ,along with Fanny Farmer and The New Basics Cookbook !

THANK YOU!! xoxo
Yum! These look awesome. I’ve been obsessed with waffles for the past few weeks and I’m eating all the peaches I can until the season is over so these are definitely being put on the menu for this weekend!
Oh.my.goodness. This dish looks fabulous. Holy gourmet breakfast! You’re so creative, steeping roasted fruit in maple syrup. Great, great idea! I bet it’d be really good in honey too. Mmm.
I have always wanted to make yeasted waffles since I got the 1970s cookbook by Marian Cunningham (love ‘vintage’ cookbooks) and found out she was kind of the pioneer of them. You just brought them to life for me, with modern day gorgeous pictures! LOVE!! Pinned
And when I was pregnant, the only thing I wanted was white carbs. Like pizza crust. I would have gone nuts over these waffles!
Thos peaches!! Holy delicious!
This is INSANITY! All that yumminess has to be illegal!
When I was pregnant with my daughter, we lived outside Houston and they always had crazy good fruit all year long. My thing was nectarines with her. I could smell em before I would even enter the store and had to have them. Every morning I absolutely had to have a fresh nectarine and a bowl of Quaker Peaches N Cream Oatmeal. Now we are in Kansas City and it seems there are only a couple days during the year the peaches and nectarines can hit me like a freight train as soon as I step into the store but I still have to bring a bag home to devour!
They look heavenly. Coming into the warmer weather here so can look forward to making this soon!
That butter. That syrup. Those peaches. I think I’ve died and gone to heaven. These look delish! Gotta soak up all the summer produce we can (although I’m also a freak for b-nut squash). Love the top shots of the stacked waffles, too!
I’ve been debating which waffle maker to buy for far too long now. I think the time has come to invest in my future, ya know?:)
P.S. Trying (REALLY HARD) to not binge read my was through Seriously Delish in one day. I wanna go through it slowly and make the excitement last for.ev.er!!! Absolutely loving the book.
Now I need to go back to Marty’s Market and get those pancakes. I just bought a few peaches from the co-op because I had a minor freak out when I realized that I’ve barely eaten any this summer, and now it’s September. Boohoo.
Totally agree with you about butternut squash obsession come fall. Your butternut squash shells and cheese have become a tradition for me and my mom to make every fall!
See you at SHV tomorrow! :)
I can not wait till summer reaches Australia so I can indulge in Peaches again! with maple syrup :)
Yeasted waffles in my books are the only way to go; buttery golden waffles every time. Seriously craving some right now Jess.
STOP IT. I don’t have a waffle maker and this is just cruel!
I don’t have a waffle maker! WAH! But I can make pancakes!
I feel like they must have had a good peach season because I’m sure there are more everywhere than usual! I’m hoping to can some this weekend if I have time. Cinnamon peaches will have to happen for sure.
This is a real stunner – I’ve been loving peaches and nectarines the last few weeks, and this looks like a perfect way to use them!
I was all about this recipe as-is until you mentioned squash, and now I’m wondering – can I use butternut squash instead of peaches? Because I need butternut squash + waffles in my life.
OF COURSE!!
p.s try these ones i made last year with butternut bacon syrup. omg. http://www.howsweeteats.com/2013/10/pumpkin-spice-waffles-with-butternut-bacon-syrup/
YUM. Unlike you I’ve ALWAYS been a breakfast carb freak. I need my sugar rush too but I try to keep it a bit healthy, since it’s everyday so I usually go with cereal or bread/toast and jam. Since autumn is drawing in and the days are getting colder though, I’ve been a-hunting for something cooked and these look perfect!
OMG-EEE!! Beautiful pictures!! This has left me speechless…. Look delicious. I love breakfast so I have to make this ASAP!
I do think that perfect peaches are an extreme rarity too, so I really like that banged up peaches can still get used with this recipe! And are probably almost better that way! Thanks for sharing it! Hope you had a great signing in Houston. Tampa misses you already!
Those look insanely delicious! Yeasted waffles are so, so, so good – I just never seem to have the patience for them, but I think the extra time will be worth it for these.
I love butternut squash also – it works in all things sweet and savory. It would be so good in place of the peaches here once fall arrives!
Holy yum!! This post came at the perfect time, because I was literally just telling my husband how I could go for a giant plate of waffles this morning. I’ve never had yeasted waffles, so I’m excited to give these a try… they look like they would be perfect for a nice Saturday breakfast! I literally can feel my mouth watering as I look at that last picture haha!
Hope you have a fantastic Friday!
These look great! I just received a copy of your cookbook in the mail yesterday and looove it. I am a Pittsburgh native and wish that I could come see you at B&N tomorrow!
thank YOU!!!
These look spectacular! All the things…ahh sooo good!

Ohmahgah … IS RIGHT!! I’m pretty much drooling every aspect of this recipe… I’m actually roasting peaches tonight … and then throwing them in a cake … I’ll have to do a couple extra and get my waffle goodness on too!
these. look. amazing. pinning for a future sunday morning breakfast!
Those waffles sound amazing Jessica, I have been trying to find a good waffle recipe forever! Totally try this one and that peach syrup.. yeah enough said. Pinned!
Why everything looks so good in photos?!?! (especially food!)
You can talk about peaches all year round! Especially when they are on top of these gorgeous vanilla waffles with that cinnamon honey butter melting all over them!
I think it’s an unspoken rule that all you want to eat for breakfast when you’re pregnant is all the carbs. Carb all the things. Bagels, waffles, pancakes, cinnamon toast, bagels, french toast, and bagels. I’d eat a hundred trillion of those waffles right now if I could.
Oh my. This post makes me so very happy. I’ve been on a breakfast for every meal kick, and I have some peaches in the fridge begging to be used…
I want this for breakfast every day for the rest of my life.
This looks amazing Jessica!! I hope you’re having fun on the book signing too!!
Love, love, love peaches. We have a peach festival here in northern CA, and I could eat my weight in the fruit.
My fav food in the world is the original Liege yeasted waffle with Belgian Pearl Sugar which melts and caramelizes in the waffle maker. Alas, with no waffle maker at home and the only stand that sells them is at the 2 hr away ski area, I rarely get my fix. I always eat them plain: almost too hot to hold but sweet, crunchy, caramel-tasting, can’t even imagine how peeps put Nutella on them. But mapley-peaches…..now I’d eat those all day long….and roll around rather than walk. I will make the peaches tomorrow. Alas, waffles will have to wait.
i am drooling.

Peach season is already past here (ours come from Korea), and no waffle iron, but you have made me HAVE TO have that cinnamon honey butter, so I guess the family is getting pancakes tomorrow for breakfast.
Just curious, is there a way to substitute vanilla extract for vanilla bean paste? I’m sure it wouldn’t be as good but I haven’t seen vanilla bean paste anywhere. BTW I made the brown sugar & bacon biscuits last night from your cookbook. AMAZING.
for sure!! you can use a teaspoon or two. :)
so glad you liked the biscuits!!!
Ah those look flawless! Yeasted waffles are just such a treat :)
These look amazing. I want to recreate them exactly! My waffle iron is total garbage, though. What kind of waffle iron do you use? Do you love it?
omg. waffle irons are the bane of my existence. i cannot find one i love. this is an oster one. it’s… blah. however, i had a food network one previously that was TERRIBLE.
i will say i’ve been at events where the kitchenaid waffle maker has been used and it’s incredible. i just need to suck it up and buy it!
this reminds me of the yeast waffles I’ve made for years along with Dutch Honey (recipe from ’93 America’s Beest Recipes, Oxmoor House) – I only get to make them when we have company now, because it’s way too much for just 2 of us
these sound amazing! and i so used to make waffles in the dining hall on weekend mornings waiting forever for them to be ready, haha!
OH my god! So delicious! And I love the photos. :)
I WANT TO FACEPLANT IN THAT PILE RIGHT THERE. gah.

Jessica, peaches are still in full swing in Utah. Oh gosh, so delicious. The baby eats two or three in one sitting! Your roasted peach syrup looks overwhelming–as in it would overwhelm me in such a way that it’s all I would eat all day long. And the yeasty waffles, well, waffles don’t come any better. I know what you mean by that “yeasty” taste. It’s perfect.
Hi Jessica
I would really appreciate an answer from you on this one please. I don’t have a waffle iron and the Chancellor of the Exchequer would have a conniption if I even suggested buying one since they aren’t readily available here and in any case we have almost every such appliance known to man and beast. So the question is: can this recipe be cooked like pancakes or would it be better simply to make pancakes and skip the yeasty bit altogether? I love the sound of the peaches and the cinnamon butter and maybe I would just eat them together with nothing else ….. but no, they are calling for something to mop up all that juice.
So please let me know your thoughts on this.
HAHAHAH!!! this made me giggle.
unfortunately i don’t think this would work as pancakes… i could be wrong but i’ve never heard of yeasted pancakes – i think you would be better off making regular pancakes and just doing the peach syrup and butter! :)
Thank you. So happy I was able to make you giggle, lol. I will content myself with ordinary ol’ pancakes.
I am a big fan of yeasted waffles and this recipe looks lovely. I love the addition of a fresh vanilla bean.
Yum Yum! look so awesome. I’ve Love waffles Since My Mom Made for the first time, and Now I’m going to make this Vanilla Waffles for the very first time, I Can’t wait to make this weekend.
Thanks :)
Yeasted waffles have been on my bucket list for a while and I have yet to make them. This is the push I need, especially with that roasted peach syrup! That sounds like the perfect topping. :)
