I'm a breakfast person. I love having toasted muesli with yogurt, warm oats or poached eggs on bread. I guess, if I really have to wake up, I might as well be greeted with something warm, toasty and delicious.
Hubby and I have all kinds of agreement. One is that if I am in charge of lunches and dinners, then the least he could do is to do breakfast and dessert. I know, it's weird but hey, anything to keep a marriage going right?
He makes a mean coffee. Serious. From our little espresso machine given to us as a wedding gift. He did this without going through a coffee barrister course.
So I guess, on long weekends or on some occasional days.. I give him a break now and then and make him breakfast. You know, the kind that men like. Bacon, eggs (scrambled or fried), sausages....
Or waffles.
I adapted this from Little Corner of mine. I love how she added cranberries and oats to it! For mine, I added a healthy dose of cinnamon and used buttermilk instead. Oh and for a treat..just a few sprinkles of dark choc chip.
Cranberry Cinnamon Waffles (Around 8 waffles)
2 eggs
2 cups of buttermilk
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup of instant oats
4 tsp of baking powder
1 cup of cranberries
1 tablespoon of honey
1/4 tsp salt
2 tablespoon of brown sugar
2 tablespoon of dark choc bits
Whisk eggs, honey and milk together. In a dry bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, cranberries, chocolate and sugar. Fold wet into dry. Preheat waffle iron. Spoon and cook! EAT!
Aww, I loved the shape of your waffle maker, so pretty and can be torn into little hearts. Your post reminded me I haven't made waffle in a while, I should alternate this with buns. I made lots of buns these days. :P
ReplyDeleteGood idea to change the shape of the boring square waffle. This looks great Daphne. Good job!
ReplyDeleteyour hubby is so sweet! and you a so loving wife! Now i'm imagining both of you sharing these delicious looking waffles and drinking that coffee and at the same time accompanied by lots of hugs and kisses from each other!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful waffles, love the shape and the color. Great addition to with the cranberries, must taste wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could wake up to breakfast that already has been prepared for me! Hahha...*wishful thinking for me*
ReplyDeleteI don't own a waffle maker, i think i should invest one. This look really good.
ReplyDeleteUmm.. okay, i need you to come to my house and make me the waffles and then your husband can make me that amazing coffee concoction I see in your post. You to are rock stars in my book. I love waffles and pancakes so much! My stomach is growling
ReplyDeleteThese waffles sound like fall, my favorite season. They look wonderful!
ReplyDeletei really wish i have a waffle machine now :(
ReplyDeleteI like having protein for breakfast so when I'm craving pancakes or waffles, I have breakfast for dinner! I think these are gonna have to be next on my list. Cinnamon cranberry? You amaze me.
ReplyDeleteaww how sweet! I usually only have oats or cereal with milk for breakfast, too lazy to do anything more in the morning :P
ReplyDeleteDear Daphne, I like that your husband helps in the kitchen. It is nice for a man to know his way around a kitchen. The waffles look delicious. I am a breakfast person also and I know I would love these waffles for breakfast. Blessings, Catherine xo
ReplyDeleteChing- hehe, the iron was a gift bought in germany. We loved it!
ReplyDeletequay po- glad you like it!
lena- hahaha..not THAT sweet. We usually just let each other know what the day would be like and what time we would be home..
Eva- We love the cinnamon scent!
Tigerfish- hahaha, he is more of a morning person than I am!
Sonia- ooo.. you won't regret it if you do!
Jessica- hahaha, and you could come and cook us dinner! LOL that would be perfect.

Joanne- that's such a good reason to have breakfast for dinner!
pigpigscorner- me too usually! which is why this happens rarely...
catherine- thank you!
Oh yeah your husband makes really nice coffee! I like the arrangement you guys made. My husband started to make weekend breakfast because he knows I stay up late on weekday nights for blogging. Poor guy but he knows I work hard (and he's the more serious one about my blog - so maybe that's why). We do need some sort of nice arrangement in marriage. Yes! Your waffle looks so delicious! Our waffle is so basic we need to try this next time. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI've never made waffles before. These look great, Daphne!
