These waffles will be your new favorite weekend breakfast or brunch recipe!

I have a thing for figs. It's not even that I eat them often, especially not fresh (those babies are expensive!). One of those foods I've always just love the "idea" of and I think look so lovely in recipes. Figs evoke "elegance" and deeply sophisticated tastes. I also just like the word...Fig. It's funny, but I think it suits a fig well. I guess you can't neglect the fact that there are multiple types of figs. We have AdriaticΒ (or White) Figs, Black Mission Figs, Brown Turkish Figs, Calimyrna Figs, and Kadota Figs.

They each have their distinct qualities and subtleties in flavor, but all are lovely and perfect sweet or savory. The typical person probably has only had dried figs or you know...Fig Newtons. Since I was trying to be a bit more economical here and covering all seasonal availability, dried mission figs it is! I got a big bag and actually used them for a different recipe and had a bunch of dried fig puree leftover which seemed like the perfect addition to some WAFFLES!

These waffles will be your new favorite weekend breakfast or brunch recipe!

I made a nice hearty buckwheat waffle, kept it simple with just a flax egg, but that fig compote is what takes it over the top and makes it something special to eat for a fantastic weekend breakfast! Just some warmed pureed figs mixed with that deep nutty tahini taste and some subtlely sweet maple syrup to tie it all together! To get the dried figs into a pureed form, you soak them for a few hours or until they become "bloated", then just pop them in a processor or blender!

Who could ever say no to a big ole' crispy gluten-free vegan waffle with one standout topping? Elevate those "toaster waffles" and make some homemade with a unique twist on the topping! Homemade waffles are great to freeze too and the topping it freezable, but also stays good in the fridge for a few weeks! This recipe is single-serve of course, but you can easily double, triple....maybe make a dozen?

    Well, if you happen to make extra waffles next time: invite me over for breakfast ;)?
    While fresh figs aren't my thing - luckily for my wallet - I do like dried ones and as I had some kind of dried fig puree before I can imagine how good yours would taste. If you ever get your hands on white almond butter you need to try that in place of tahini here. It's an essential food for me.

I loved fig newtons and fig jam, but actually eating a fig...not for me. I'm pretty sure I would devour this compote though - for one, I'm a sucker for tahini! When/if I'm able to eat grains again, you better believe I'm making these waffles!! This looks amazing!!

    You're totally right on figs! They do just take a meal up to the next level and seem so sophisticated πŸ™‚ My mom picked my grandparents tree at the end of summer, and since I was already out of the country again, she pureed them and canned them so I can use them when I get back next month. And topping waffles sounds like a great thing to do with them!

    Rebecca - your compote sounds wonderful and so unique - I've never used tahini in a compote before and am so totally inspired to do so now! Also - wish I had one of your Buckwheat pancakes to tuck into this morning - they sound wonderful!

      Tahini gives it the perfect rich depth!

Perfect tostones require the unripe green plantains (got mine from @theboysfarmersmarket), they're super cheap (like 20-30Β’), peel, slice, soak them in some water, lime juice, and salt, use your @gowiseusa air fryer to give them the first "fry", then get out your frustrations by smashing them into flat discs with a tostonera or a heavy mug, toss them back in the air fryer to finish getting golden and crispy! Serve with an extra pinch of flaky salt and salsa dips of choice! πŸ‘Œ
