Ingredients You’ll Need

The beauty of these Churro Waffles with Peaches & Cream Sauce lies in everyday staples transformed. Each ingredient plays a starring role, from the warm spices in the waffle batter to the luscious, summery peach sauce. Let’s break down what you’ll need and why each one matters.

All-purpose flour: This reliable standby gives your waffles structure and a tender crumb.
Granulated sugar: Sweetens the batter, the coating, and helps turn those peaches beautifully syrupy.
Baking powder: Gives the waffles lift and fluffiness—no flat waffles here!
Salt: Just a pinch sharpens all the other flavors so nothing falls flat.
Cinnamon: The heart of our churro flair, found both in the batter and in the sugar coating.
Eggs: Bind the batter, add richness, and help achieve that golden crisp exterior.
Milk: Keeps the batter smooth and the waffles moist.
Unsalted butter (melted): Lends richness and helps with that mouthwatering crispness.
Vanilla extract: Adds aromatic warmth to both the waffles and the whipped cream topping.
For the cinnamon-sugar coating (sugar, cinnamon, melted butter): Brushed and dusted, this is what takes these waffles straight into dreamy churro territory.
Ripe peaches (peeled and diced): The star of the sauce—fresh, sweet, and juicy.
Lemon juice: Brightens the peaches and balances out the sweetness.
Heavy cream: Whipped into soft, swoony clouds for topping.
Powdered sugar: Adds delicate sweetness to the fluffy whipped cream.

How to Make Churro Waffles with Peaches & Cream Sauce

Step 1: Mix the Waffle Batter

Start by whisking the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, melted butter, and fragrant vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth, then pour the wet mixture into the dry, stirring gently until everything is just combined—don’t overmix or your waffles could turn dense instead of lofty.

Step 2: Cook the Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron until it’s nice and hot—this is key for that irresistible crisp edge. Grease it lightly, then ladle in the batter according to your iron’s instructions. Cook until the waffles are puffed, golden brown, and tempting you with the aroma of cinnamon. Gently lift them out and set aside, but don’t stray far: the next step is what transforms these into churro waffles stunners!

Step 3: Coat with Cinnamon-Sugar

In a shallow bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Working while the waffles are still warm, brush each one with melted butter, then generously sprinkle or dip the waffle in the cinnamon-sugar mix so it sticks to every nook and cranny. This is where the classic churro vibe truly shines.

Step 4: Make the Peaches & Cream Sauce

Peel and dice your peaches, then add them to a small saucepan with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a splash of lemon juice. Let everything bubble over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the peaches soften and release juices, creating a syrupy, golden sauce. Meanwhile, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy and billowy—it only takes a minute or two, and the payoff is immense.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve

Now for the finale: arrange your churro waffles on plates, spoon the warm peach sauce over the top, and finish each serving with a generous swoop of whipped cream. In an instant, you have Churro Waffles with Peaches & Cream Sauce ready for a grand brunch showcase.

How to Serve Churro Waffles with Peaches & Cream Sauce

Garnishes

Let’s make these beauties shine! A sprinkle of extra cinnamon, a dusting of powdered sugar, and maybe a scattering of thinly sliced toasted almonds turn your Churro Waffles with Peaches & Cream Sauce into a true showstopper. For extra decadence, add a drizzle of caramel or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream—because why not?

Side Dishes

A juicy fruit salad or a tangy yogurt parfait alongside these waffles balances out all that fluffy sweetness. If you’re hosting brunch, set out crispy bacon, sausage, or even a savory egg dish to round out the menu. A bright, citrusy mimosa or a cold glass of milk doesn’t hurt, either!

Creative Ways to Present

If you want to wow your crew, try stacking mini-waffles with layers of peach sauce and cream for a fun “waffle cake.” Or cut chilled waffles into strips and serve with sauces for dipping—a playful, finger-food-style twist even kids will love. However you serve them, Churro Waffles with Peaches & Cream Sauce are destined to impress.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Have extra waffles or sauce? Lucky you! Store leftover churro waffles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours, or refrigerate for three days. Keep the peach sauce and whipped cream in separate airtight containers in the fridge and reassemble just before serving.

Freezing

Churro waffles freeze beautifully! Lay cooled waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then stack with parchment between layers in a zip-top bag for up to two months. Peach sauce also freezes well in a sealed container—just leave some room for expansion. Whipped cream is best made fresh, but stabilized whipped topping can be frozen if needed.

Reheating

Warm waffles straight from the fridge or freezer in a toaster or oven at 350°F until hot and crisp—about 5 minutes. To reheat peach sauce, simply microwave or simmer gently in a saucepan, adding a splash of water if it thickens too much. Fluff up the whipped cream with a quick whisk before serving.

FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches for the sauce?

Absolutely! Frozen peaches are a great option if fresh aren’t available. Just simmer a few extra minutes to cook off any excess moisture. You might find the sauce a little juicier, but it will still taste fantastic with the waffles.

How do I keep waffles crispy?

For the crispiest results, place cooked waffles on a wire rack (not a plate!) to cool as you finish the batch. This allows air to circulate and prevents steam from softening them. Avoid stacking hot waffles so they don’t get soggy.

Can I make the batter ahead?

While you can mix the dry ingredients the night before, it’s best to whisk together the wet ingredients and combine with the dry just before making the waffles. This keeps the texture light and helps the baking powder work its magic.

What if I don’t have a waffle iron?

If you don’t have a waffle iron, the batter can be cooked as pancakes on a nonstick skillet. They won’t have the signature waffle pockets, but the churro cinnamon-sugar coating and peach sauce will shine just as brightly.

Is there a way to make these dairy-free?

For a dairy-free spin on Churro Waffles with Peaches & Cream Sauce, use your favorite non-dairy milk and swap in melted coconut oil or a vegan butter substitute for the butter. For the whipped cream, coconut cream whipped with a touch of powdered sugar is delicious!

Final Thoughts

There’s just something magical about transforming simple ingredients into an unforgettable treat, and Churro Waffles with Peaches & Cream Sauce prove it every single time. If you’re craving something special for brunch, breakfast, or even dessert, give these a whirl—they’re the kind of recipe that’s meant to be shared (and devoured with giddy enthusiasm!).
