Peaches and Cream Waffles FAQs
Can I make these waffles ahead of time?
Yes! You can make the waffles in advance and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to a month. Reheat in the toaster or oven until warmed through and crisp.
Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Absolutely. While fresh peaches offer the best flavor and texture, canned (drained) or thawed frozen peaches will work too, especially when peaches aren’t in season.
Do I need a waffle iron to make this recipe?
Nope! If you don’t have a waffle iron, you can use silicone waffle molds and bake them in the oven. Both methods yield delicious results.
Is there a dairy-free option for this recipe?
Yes — you can substitute the buttermilk with a plant-based buttermilk alternative (like almond milk mixed with a little lemon juice) and use a dairy-free yogurt on top.
What can I serve with these waffles for brunch?
These waffles pair well with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, or a fresh fruit salad. A cup of coffee or iced tea makes the perfect finishing touch!
