Perfect Vanilla Waffles - light and fluffy waffles with crisp edges and a warm vanilla flavor, topped with sweet tahini coffee melts - perfect breakfast or brunch!
I had an impromptu Virtual Breakfast on Saturday morning. Friday night, I stayed in to relax with the dogs and watch back to back episodes of Justin Timberlake on Saturday Night Live.
Jason was out playing music, leaving me to JT, browsing the internet - Pinterest for wedding ideas and Instagram to see what everyone was up to. I got in a conversation on Instagram with Somer and Sarah about these Totally Tahini Cups with Coffee Cream Filling - they had both just made them, and Sarah said she doubled the recipe and ended up with leftover filling. She said she was going to spread it on toast.
Mind Blown.
I said - wouldn't the entire Totally Tahini Cup WITH filling be good to melt on toast? on a bagel? or *gasp* - a waffle?
Somer agreed, thankful she had some to top a waffle with - and asked if I was in?
I was indeed - I hopped up and made another batch of the Totally Tahini Cups right then and there, while JT sang a skit about Veganville. It was meant to be. Also? They melted perfectly.
Take a piping hot waffle right off the iron and top it with one Totally Tahini Cup. Instant melty goodness.
Also? These photos cannot convey just how fluffy and light these waffles are - while still being vegan and gluten free. I am always so excited about these waffles when I make them.
