Best Maple Brown Butter Banana Waffles. Although breakfast isn't the part of my day that gets a ton of love (except for weekends), I really enjoy making elaborate dishes like this one.
Honestly, on a regular day, eating a Vegan Grain Bagel + large Chai from Starbucks is my thing. Literally, the same thing on most days. Haha.
Unfortunately, due to always being busy and having so much to tackle within each day, making something complicated for breakfast never seems like a viable option. Who else can relate?
That's why I create easy breakfast options on Orchids + Sweet Tea for those busy mornings, but also these types of dishes that might require a bit more effort or time. It's a balance, right?
Maple Cinnamon Oatmeal + Caramelized Oranges — the epitome of Fall in a bowl. This oatmeal is creamy, loaded with warm spices + maple flavor, and will surely keep you full all morning! Plus, it’s made in no time (10-15 minutes to be exact!) and it’s all vegan and gluten-free. Overnight option available.
This Healthy Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl recipe is an easy way to kick start your day and keep your taste buds satisfied. This breakfast bowl is the epitome of nourishing your body while keeping you full throughout the morning.
Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats—-Vegan, Gluten-free, and only takes 5 minutes to whip together while you allow the refrigerator do the rest overnight. This recipe boasts of it’s creaminess, thickness from the thickly cut oats used, and generous Fall flavors which reminds you of the traditional pumpkin spice latte.
This Easy Veggie Breakfast Frittata is the epitome of a savory, tender vegetable-laden vegetarian option to kick start your mornings. Light and bouncy, loaded with mozzarella cheese, and infused with kale, onions, and tomatoes.
OK, so I know that you might be thinking that these waffles are super bold in flavor and YOU'RE SO RIGHT. I'm such a lover of banana flavored sweet treats and obviously bananas work well with maple. Don't believe me? Have you tried my Banana Cupcakes + Maple Buttercream? They are definitely a fan fave!
But back to these flavors. In all honesty, I haven't dabbled with brown butter much on Orchids + Sweet Tea, however, I'm such a fan because it's a Southern classic that is undeniably delish. Besides, it also brings on a lot of comfort and has such a bold flavor that brings forth other bold flavors in a genius way. So, why not add them all together with the addition of warm spices to create the ultimate comfort food dish, right? Exactly.
These waffles almost remind you of a delicious Banana Bread with a nice remix.
Whelp, did you know that Bananas are the most consumed fruit in the world? Yup. That’s right. We all eat them. And we eat them A LOT! But, the most important part of it all is that Bananas come with great health benefits.

They help to prevent against asthma, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and more. When it comes to digestive issues, bananas, like apple sauce are often the go-to for treating certain upsets, including diarrhea. It’s actually apart of the BRAT diet.
Lastly, Bananas actually contain a type of amino acid that that plays a role in preserving memory and boosting your mood, according to specific studies. That’s right. Bananas are well rounded in their benefits for our health.
