These were a whole new experience for me! I’m used to sweet waffles oozing with earth balance and drizzled with maple syrup or just plain and piled high with fresh fruit. These are nothing like those, except that they’re waffles. Check ‘em out!
First up, Buckwheat Waffles with Red Wine Tarragon Mushroom Gravy. Yeah, that name is a mouthful. But just wait until you taste them! It’s a nice, crisp, earthy tasting waffle topped with an amazing gravy (which actually tastes high brown). If comfort food crashed into fine French dining, this might be the result. I’m looking forward to adapting the buckwheat waffle into being a little sweeter and topping it with apples in the fall. And that gravy is begging to put on some seitan.
These are Cornbread Waffles with Mole and Seitan. Whoa. Amazing. These might be fighting our weekly scrambled tofu for being a regular weekend breakfast. I can’t rave enough about these. The sauce is so full of flavor (get this- it’s mostly from pantry ingredients!) and the waffle is just right. What’s not to love about seitan? That Isa really puts stuff together in all the right ways. These are both testers for her upcoming book, Vegan Brunch.
Now I’m on the hunt for other savoury waffle ideas.

These vegan brunch tester posts are agonizing! I can’t wait to make all the recipes for dinner(unfortunately my will to live, let alone cook, doesn’t kick in till afternoon). My favorite savory waffle combination is black beans+avocado+ranchero sauce+tofu sour cream…I had this in a restaurant here but think it would be a lot better homemade.
Ali, that combo sounds fantastic! I can just imagine it over these cornbread waffles. Yum!
I know these dishes are in a brunch book, but they are so versatile. You’ll be just fine with afternoon cooking!
savory waffles have got to be the most brilliant idea, like, ever. even though I personally have a big sweet toof, sweet waffles can get boring rather quickly and to let the waffle maker get covered with dust is just too sad.
Celine, I love your sweet tooth. I’m looking forward to trying your peach yogurt rolls with raspberry filling.
Yeah, I’m with you on savoury being a great idea. Who would have thunk it?
