Buttermilk Sweet Potato Waffles + Vegetable Scramble (Gluten Free)
I can’t deny it, when it comes to breakfast foods I’m a creature of habit.
Does that surprise you? I mean, you’d probably think that as a food blogger, because I’m constantly trying to come up with new flavor combinations and recipes to share with you guys, that I’d always have something new for breakfast. Actually though, the reality is that I’m very boring when it comes to breakfast foods typically. Oh, and then it doesn’t help that most of my family is made up of people who don’t do breakfast at all so I’m not very motivated to make it.
I love all the different foods that are generally considered breakfast items though (i.e. pancakes, french toast, biscuits and gravy…). In fact, we’re pretty strange around here and it’s way more typical in our house to eat “breakfast” foods for lunch or dinner time than first thing in the morning.
Growing up, we’ve always been that way so I’ve honestly never understood why some people think certain foods have to be eaten for a specific time of day. I think brunch and brinner are perfectly acceptable, they’re the best! To each their own I guess because, as I keep learning, every culture has it’s own strange food customs.
I wanted to tell you about this recipe. I love being able to make foods that everyone can enjoy but sometimes that means catering to certain dietary restrictions, so I feel like having gluten-free recipes that my whole family enjoys is always a good idea in case they’re ever necessary. I actually think that using rice flour as the main thickener for the waffles gives them an awesome and extra crispy texture, so it’s a win win!
Anyway, this whole combo comes together quickly and easily for simple but delicious breakfast. That’s one of my favorite parts about it. The sweet potato buttermilk waffles are only slightly sweetened so they pair really well with the savory veggie scramble in place of something that might usually be served with scrambled eggs, like toast.
If you prefer it though, feel free to add what’s more typical with waffles, sweet toppings like syrup or fruit. (Hehe, unlike some people I don’t put boundaries about what foods can go together or judge what people like to eat.) The point is that you can take this as an inspiration and make it your own. That goes for the veggies and cheese in the egg scramble also. I chose to use the ones I did based on the ingredients I had on hand but you can switch them out for things you like better.
So I hope this at least adds some fresh ideas to your day. Have a great weekend!

Great photos as usual! Waffles are my favorite! It can be eaten with peanut butter or ice cream or even fried chicken. Even better with all 3!

That looks like a delicious breakfast. Not gluten intolerant myself and allways when I hear it I think about some not so tasty replacement food. Glad to see that with this one that is definitely not the case! Have fun out there and good luck with future posts!
