Fig and Maple Syrup Waffles

Fig and Maple Syrup Waffles

Today, we’re whipping up Fig and Maple Syrup Waffles that are so good, they’ll make you want to break up with your pancakes! ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿฅž (Don’t worry, pancakes, we still love youโ€ฆ just not as much.)

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Maddy, isn’t making waffles harder than trying to fold a fitted sheet?” ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿค” But hold onto your spatulas, my culinary comrades, because we’re about to embark on a waffle-making adventure that’s easier than falling off a logโ€ฆ and way more delicious! ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ˜‹

These aren’t just any waffles โ€“ they’re crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside vehicles for sweet figs and mapley goodness that’ll have you saying “Leggo my Eggo” to anyone who tries to steal a bite! ๐Ÿ›‘๐Ÿคš

So, let’s get this waffle party started! Batter up! ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿ›’ Ingredients (makes about 6-8 waffles, or enough to build a delicious fort):

For the waffles:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour ๐ŸŒพ
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder ๐Ÿง‚
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt ๐Ÿง‚
  • 2 tablespoons sugar ๐Ÿš
  • 2 large eggs ๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿฅš
  • 1 3/4 cups milk ๐Ÿฅ›
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil ๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ๐Ÿงช

For the topping:

  • 2 cups fresh figs, quartered ๐Ÿ‘
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup ๐Ÿฏ
  • 1/4 cup butter ๐Ÿงˆ
  • Pinch of cinnamon ๐Ÿง‚
  • Whipped cream (optional, but who are we kidding? It’s necessary!) ๐Ÿฆ

๐Ÿฅ„ Instructions (easier than trying to say “waffle” ten times fast!):

  1. First, let’s make our waffle batter. In a big bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. It’s like making a sandcastle, but way more edible! ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐Ÿฐ
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. It’s a liquid party, and everyone’s invited! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’ฆ
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Lumps are your friends here โ€“ we’re making waffles, not smoothies! ๐ŸฅคโŒ
  4. Let your batter rest while you heat up your waffle iron. It’s like sending your batter to a spa โ€“ it’ll come back relaxed and ready to be amazing! ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธโœจ
  5. While your batter’s at the spa and your iron’s heating up, let’s make our figgy topping. In a saucepan, combine the figs, maple syrup, butter, and cinnamon. It’s like a hot tub party for your fruit! ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ‘
  6. Cook the fig mixture over medium heat until the figs are soft and the syrup is bubbly. It should smell better than any candle you’ve ever owned! ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ƒ
  7. Now, back to the waffles! Grease your waffle iron (unless it’s non-stick, then just look at it appreciatively). ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿงผ
  8. Pour the batter into your waffle iron. How much? That’s between you and your waffle maker. It’s a personal journey. ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿง‡
  9. Cook until golden brown and crispy. It should be prettier than a sunset and crispier than autumn leaves! ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒ…
  10. Repeat until you’ve used all your batter. Stack ’em up like you’re building the Leaning Tower of Waffles! ๐Ÿ—ผ๐Ÿง‡
  11. Top your waffles with the warm fig and maple syrup mixture. Be generous โ€“ calories don’t count when figs are involved! ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ‘
  12. Add a dollop (or mountain) of whipped cream. It’s like a fluffy cloud of happiness! โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š
