It’s springtime and with nicer weather comes a lot of celebrations and gatherings. While my girlfriends do a lot of happy hours and evening get-togethers, with a packed work and family schedule, my evenings are busy. But a good weekend morning gathering? Sign me up!
And a weekend morning gathering doesn’t have to be a chore. It’s surprisingly easy to throw a “Spontaneous Brunch” if you have the right supplies on hand. Libby’s® Canned Fruits are fantastic for creating delicious, simple, and memorable recipes perfect for a quick and easy weekend brunch with family or friends. Check out how easy these peach waffles with homemade peach syrup are to make.
I love to use Libby’s® canned fruit in my baked goods, as I shared with you in these Pear Crumble Muffins because they have a softer texture that doesn’t need to cook a long time. Other canned fruit, like peaches, work wonderfully with waffle batter! Nobody wants to bite into a delicious waffle with an uncooked piece of fruit, you know?
These Peaches and Cream Waffles with my Homemade Peach Syrup wow my guests and family every time I make them. Speaking of the syrup, if you watched the video, you saw that it’s nothing more than the canned peaches and a bit of the fruit juice blended until smooth. Super easy to make and the sweet peach flavor shines through.
Of course, I’ve made these waffles many times, and I like to double my batter and make extras to freeze. Simply place your waffles on a parchment lined baking sheet, freeze them, and transfer them to a zip bag. To enjoy them again, I simply toast them for a few minutes, and they are ready!
To keep these warm and while I get the table set up or wait for friends to arrive for brunch, I place them in my oven at 200F to keep warm directly on the rack. So easy, right?
One thing is for certain, my waffle maker gets a great workout with this recipe. “Keep them coming!” are words I hear often. Maybe it’s their amazing taste or the drizzle of warm homemade peach syrup… it’s probably all the things!
What’s your favorite way to use canned fruit? Libby’s Canned Fruits come in a variety of flavors – from peaches to pears to apricots and fruit cocktail – there’s something for every palate. Visit getbacktothetable.com for more information.
Peaches and Cream Waffles with Homemade Peach Syrup
These waffles have a thin, crisp texture on the outside and a soft, cake-like feel inside. The best part is the taste of sweet peaches in every bite.
Ingredients
For the waffles:
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 15-ounce can Libby’s Peach Slices in 100% Fruit Juice, drained
- 8 ounces heavy whipping cream
For the peach syrup:
- 15 ounce can Libby’s Peach Slices, drained, liquid reserved
Instructions
- Heat waffle iron.
- In a bowl (or blender), whisk the milk, Greek yogurt or sour cream, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Form a well in the center and add the wet mixture to the dry to form a smooth your batter.
- Chop peach slices into small pieces to fill 1/2 to 3/4 cup and save remaining slices for topping. Add chopped peaches to the batter and mix to combine.
- When iron is hot, spray lightly with non-stick spray (if necessary). Fill your waffle iron with enough batter to fill the cavity (this will vary by waffle iron) and cook until a golden brown crust forms.
- While waffles are cooking, add reserved peaches and the peaches from the second can into the blender. Add about 1/4 cup of the fruit juice to the blender and blend until smooth. For a thinner syrup, add additional fruit juice. Transfer syrup into a small saucepan and heat on low.
- Whip heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Serve waffles warm, topped with whipped cream and peach syrup.
These look amazing! My family LOVES baked fruit in the fall. Canned peaches, pears, pineapple chunks and a few maraschino cherries sprinkled with cinnamon and brown sugar is soooooo good!
The canned fruit never makes it into anything because the kids eat it straight from the can.
