Cinnamon Nutmeg Waffles

Tall, fluffy, buttermilk waffles… I’m talking hot & fresh, and straight from the iron: These special harvest-spiced waffles made with cinnamon, brown sugar, and freshly grated nutmeg are perfect- my current obsession. The warm, rich aroma of the cinnamon & nutmeg coming from the waffles as they bake is complete and utter heaven.

You can find whole nutmeg in the spice aisle and use any old cheese grater to freshly grate it right in your kitchen.

Just a few quick swipes on the grater will give you a bunch- there’s no slaving involved here! :)

And seeing the tiny flecks of cinnamon & nutmeg in each and every bite? Deeply satisfying. Not to mention delicious. :D

So sorry I never got a picture of the waffles topped with butter & syrup… but I’ll let you use your imagination. :)

Cinnamon Nutmeg Waffles

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
3 eggs, beaten
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups buttermilk, room temperature

Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s directions.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, sugars and spices. In another bowl beat together the eggs and melted butter, then add the buttermilk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until combined. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

Ladle the recommended amount of waffle batter onto the iron according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Close iron top and cook until the waffle is golden on both sides and is easily removed from iron.

Based on the Basic Waffle Recipe from Alton Brown.

Breakfast Casserole – It’s not just for Breakfast! We always have it for dinner. :) And it could not be easier to make! That’s a good thing, because Breakfast Casserole is one of Kevin’s Most Requested Meals so I make it a lot. :p

Wanna make it? Here’s what you’ll need:

1 pkg crescent rolls
1 lb mild sausage, browned and drained
6 eggs, beaten
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat your oven to 350. Take a 9×13 pan and spray it with Pam. Roll out crescent rolls in the bottom of the pan:

Top with an even layer of browned and drained sausage:

Then pour in beaten eggs:

And top with cheese! :)

Bake at 350 for 30 mins.

If you want to have this for breakfast, you can brown your sausage the night before and keep it in the refrigerator until morning. Then all you have to do in the morning is put everything together and you have a quick and easy breakfast! :) Breakfast Casserole also microwaves up well if you have leftovers. We usually hate leftovers but this is one thing Kevin will actually eat the next day. :)
