The last week of my life was a whirlwind! I flew to NYC to do the TODAY show and then I went straight to Florida for a beach weekend with some of my blogging friends. I got back late last night and I feel like I need another vacation. I am exhausted…but a good exhausted! Both trips were super fun! I am thrilled to be home with my favorite guys. I missed them like mad! And don’t worry, I will be sharing my travel adventures on the blog soon!

I know I should be unpacking, doing laundry, and catching up on emails this morning, but I just want to snuggle in bed with Josh and Caleb. Work can wait! Breakfast in bed would also be nice. We made Cornmeal Waffles with Blackberry Compote before I left for my crazy travels and I could really good go for a plate of hot waffles this morning. Good thing, I put some in the freezer. I think I will bust them out and stay in my pj’s all day! Sounds like a good Monday to me!

Caleb is a huge waffle fan so we make them on a regular basis. He is already a waffle connoisseur, he won’t eat any old waffle. His waffles have to have berries and whipped cream. He knows what makes a good waffle:)

The cornmeal adds a slight crunch to the fluffy waffles. I loved the texture! We used our favorite waffle baker. The waffles were golden brown and cooked perfectly every time. I love that we can make two waffles at a time! The faster we make waffles, the sooner we can eat them:)

Ingredients
  

For the waffles:

For the Blackberry Compote:

  • 16 ounces fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water if using fresh berries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your waffle iron.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients are just combined. Stir in the melted butter.
  • Grease the hot waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon out ½ cup of batter (or the amount recommended by the manufacturer's instructions) onto the hot iron. Use a spoon to smooth the batter almost to the edge of the grids. Close the lid and bake until browned and crisp.
  • In the meantime, make the blackberry compote. In a small saucepan, place blackberries, sugar, and 1 tablespoon water (if using fresh berries). Cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries become soft and juicy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Serve waffles with blackberry compote and whipped cream, if desired.
  • Note-the waffles freeze well. Place cooled waffles in a freezer bag and freeze. To reheat, place waffles in the toaster.

  1. So fun that you got to go on a few trips! I’m a Floridian, and the weather has been great here, you picked a fab time to visit! Waffles are huge in my house and my Caleb (my hubby shares the name) LOVES blackberries, so these look perfect! Pinned!

  2. I don’t know why I never think to freeze my extra waffles….duh moment!

    I mean, that’s why there’s Ego’s right?

    But I’m a total waffle snob! If they’re not homemade, I won’t eat them.

    Blackberries are my favorite topping too! I have a freezer filled with those from summer, I think it’s time to indulge =)

  3. I love the added texture cornmeal contributes to pancakes and waffles. These look amazing with the blueberry topping. Certainly an extra special breakfast!

  4. Oooh I’ve never added cornmeal to my waffles but it sounds like a fabulous addition. I love serving my waffles with fruit, too. Great looking recipe!

  5. I think I’ll be joining you for that breakfast in bed…will that be awkward? Surely not.

  6. These waffles look so good Maria! And I sort of wish I could stay in bed all morning too–preferably with a large plate of these, haha.

    Hope you had a great time in Florida! All of the IG photos looked amazing!

  7. Gorgeous waffles and what a fun couple of trips you’ve had! Can’t wait to hear more. Pinned!

  8. I never thought to make waffles from cornmeal. Great idea. They look like the perfect start to a day. I’m a huge waffle fan!
    Have a beautiful Monday Maria! Staying in pjs sounds like a grand idea. Maybe I’ll give a try today too. 😉

  9. What an exciting week you had! Love the Today Show segment and it looked like you all had a blast at one of my favorite places, Seaside! Love the blackberry compote on these waffles, perfect for brunch!

  10. These look amazing! I always make my husband in charge of the pancakes and waffles. He never measures and they always turn out perfectly, even with all of his variations! I’m slowly learning….This is one of our favorite ways to have them. Have never put honey in the batter before though. We’ll have to give it a try!

  11. Ooh, the Today Show, how exciting. The beach sounds great right about now. Love these gorgeous waffles!

  12. I have seen waffles on so many blogs lately…i think this is a sign i need to make them. I am such a boring person when it comes to breakfast…i always stick to my tried and true…greek yogurt concoctions, oatmeal, smoothies, toast/pb/banana, eggs occasionally, etc. i never make waffles of pancakes or french toast. and why? its awesome. its a sign from god- i should make some 🙂

  13. I love the crunchy texture cornmeal adds to corn-muffins, and I bet these waffles are amazing! I may have to try topping my corn-muffins with blackberry jam until I get a waffle iron 🙂

  14. Wow, that compote!!! These look amazing!

    Miss you already, friend! 🙂

  15. These waffles look so perfect for a morning in bed. Sounds so nice!

    Florida sounds like so much fun. Loved your IG pics!

  16. Blackberries are in our fridge all the time right now, these waffles could be our breakfast this weekend 🙂

  17. The blackberry compote and whipped cream on top is an excellent touch and adds to the flavor.

  18. These look so amazing, Maria! Love the addition of cornmeal. Oh and that blackberry compote. I always put preserves on my waffles or pancakes and that compote is a serious upgrade.

  19. I love cornmeal waffles!! I think they’re even better than cornmeal pancakes for some reason! Yours sound perfect with blackberry compote!

  20. Hands down the best waffle recipe. Most other waffle recipes ask you to separate yolks and egg whites and then you have to whip them to soft pecks etc. These are simple and perfect! I use gluten free 1 to 1 baking flour from bobs mills. I also put a couple of strips of bacon into the waffles before I closed em up! Thanks for posting, these will be my go to waffles for life:)

    1. So glad you liked the waffles. We haven’t made them in awhile and that needs to change! Thanks for the reminder!

  21. I found these waffles didn’t turn out crisp on the outside, which is how I like my waffles. They were kind of floppy. Not sure if I did something wrong?

  22. 3 stars
    These look delicious but as another commenter said – the wet to dry ratio is very off. I followed the recipe exactly and the batter was extremely thin and soup-like. I had to add another almost full cup of flour to get the batter anywhere near a consistency that would work in a waffle iron. Otherwise love the idea of a cornmeal waffle!

  23. 5 stars
    This is my go-to waffle recipe, thank you! We make them with coconut cream instead of milk: 1 can plus water/fresh lemon juice to equal 2 cups. We also sub 1/2 cup of almond flour for 1/2 cup of the wheat flour to up the protein content. Delicious!
