    This recipe has been sat on my computer for over a week and I am really really sorry, as well everyone needs maple syrup waffles and glazed bacon in theirย lives!!!!

    I'm pretty sure these maple syrup waffles would be delicious with someย fresh strawberries and a dusting of icing sugar? That has to work? Especially with a dollop of cream!!! But I couldn't get past bacon, because, well because it is bacon!!!
    I did sprinkle a few blueberries on the boys plate, just to make me feel like they were having something healthy with their breakfast! And blueberriesย work really well with the salty bacon - seriously is there anything bacon doesn't go with???

    And not just any bacon, this is bacon that has been brushed with maple syrup before it is cooked. Smoky, salty bacon with the sweet delicious flavour of maple. Seriously, see why I had to apologise!!!! You should have had this maple syrup waffle recipe in your lives a week ago. It really isn't something you can miss out on!

    You want to use a good back bacon that has a bit of fat on it, the fat absorbs the delicious maple flavours and then crisps up. Please don't cut all the fat away, or use just the bacon 'eye' pieces. The fat is the flavour and this is a treat of a breakfast ๐Ÿ™‚

    Oh bacon I love you!!!!!!!!

    The waffles are cooked with maple syrup in them, yes right inside them, giving them a wonderful maple, smokey depth. So good!!! You know that smell you get when you open the maple syrup bottle, these waffles taste just like that smell. I wish I could describe it, just go to the pantry, open the bottle of maple and take a good sniff, that is what we are talking abut here. That deliciousness all baked into a waffle. (And then adorned with bacon....can you hear the angels singing????)

    p.s I made these super healthy ๐Ÿ˜‰ by using some wholemeal flour!!!! Totally up to you, my boys preferred them with all plain flour but I am Mum and I decided that some wholemeal is the way forward. I am not your mum so go with what you have and what you like ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Ingredients

    For the Bacon

    • 8 rashers of back bacon
    • 2 tablespoon maple syrup

    For the waffles

    • 200 g plain flour
    • 100 g wholemeal flour (see notes)
    • 3 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 80 g salted butter
    • 4 eggs
    • 165 ml โ…” cup maple syrup
    • 165 ml โ…” cup milk
    • Extra maple syrup for serving

    Instructions

    • Pre-heat your oven to 180ยบC/350ยบF and get your waffle iron warming up.
    • Cut the very thick rind from the bacon (if it has it) but leave a nice ring of fat.
    • Line a baking sheet with cooking paper and arrange the bacon in a single layer.
    • Cook the bacon for 15 minutes until just starting to crisp.
    • Remove from the oven and use a pastry brush (the silicone ones are best) to brush maple syrup over your bacon.
    • Cook for a further 5 minutes.
    • To make the waffles, tip the flour, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl. Set aside.
    • Put the butter into a small pan and melt until it is on the verge of browning.
    • Crack the eggs into a large jug (or another bowl) whisk gently to break the yolks then add in the maple syrup, milk and melted butter. Mix well.
    • Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the flour and stir until it is just combined. Don't over mix it, the batter should be a bit lumpy.
    • Spoon the mixture into your waffle iron and cook for 4 minutes or until they are golden and lift easily away from the plates. If you have a traditional cast iron waffle iron, you may need to oil it first, the non-stick Belgium style ones should be fine without oil. Depending on your waffle iron you will make about 8 waffles. I find ยฝ cup of mixture just fills one waffle plate, but the smaller ones will need about โ…“ cup.
    • Pile the bacon onto of your maple syrup waffles, drizzle with a little more maple syrup and enjoy!

    Notes

    The wholemeal flour is optional. If you don't have it or don't want to use it then just use 100g extra plain flour.

      After reading your intro, I was so excited to make this recipe. That is, until I saw that amounts were measured in metric (or whatever it's called.) I've been cooking for 65 years with standard measures and really don't care to take the time to figure out all the conversions. You did provide the standard measures for the liquid ingredients, but not for the dry ingredients and butter. It's all just a bit too complicated for me. Also, what is whole meal flour? Thank you.

        Hi Sharon,

        So sorry you didn't get what you needed from the recipe.
        When I started my website most of my traffic was from Australia (where I am based) and they use metric measurements for most ingredients. So that is how I started writing my recipes. As the site grew I got more and more US traffic and I started adding both US customary and Metric measurements (I have a toggle button on my recipes)
        However some of my older recipes are still only in metric, I am slowly working through and updating them, but it is a slow process as I like to test the recipe using the cup measurements to ensure the conversions are correct rather than just using an online converter and hoping the recipe will still work.

        I will get onto this recipe as soon as I can. Again sorry you were disappointed.

        p.s Wholemeal flour is the same as wholewheat flour

      I grew up in maple syrup country, just south of eastern Ontario. This delicious combination of breakfast classics resonates solidly with me and I have to say, you have done the breakfast genre proud by this sweet and savory creation! Fantastic job here.

      Waffle makers are such wonderful inventions, aren't they? Adding this to the list of recipes to try since we're all huge fans of the salty/sweet/maple flavor combination over here.

      I absolutely LOVE waffles but since I broke my waffle maker a few months ago I haven't replaced it yet. I think this recipe might just have me running to the store for a new one ๐Ÿ˜€

      I am so glad to see that someone else eats their bacon with maple syrup!! YES! hahaha my family thinks I'm crazy when we have bacon and I break out the syrup to dip the bacon in. Seriously.. best things ever! I cannot wait to try this recipe. If only for the fact that my family might not eat it and that means more for me! lol

      There is nothing that bacon doesn't go with IMO! This is like the breakfast of my dreams - bacon, waffles and blueberries? I can make a sandwich out of those ingredients and just inhale the whole thing.

      Hi Claire! I love how there's maple syrup 3 ways in this - inside the waffle, on the waffle, and on the bacon. Yum! Good thing I always keep maple syrup stocked in my pantry!

      Hi Claire!!!!! So happy to see this, big smile here! I love waffles and this bacon..oh my! I always cook bacon in the oven, so much easier and leaves one free to whip up these waffles! I've been known to sprinkle brown sugar on the bacon as it cooks. The best part of your post of course is YOU, but I have everything to make this tomorrow for brunch!! And that's a good thing because it is cold, wet and windy here and I'm not going out for anything!! ๐Ÿ™‚
