Honeyed Sunshine Olive Oil Waffles

This recipe uses Ciccio’s Pennsylvania Infused Raw Honey

This is a creative take on an Americanized breakfast delight. The recipe blends tradition with indulgence, creating a waffle that is light, crisp, and perfumed with Mediterranean sunshine. No butter—just pure, liquid gold.

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups whole milk (or almond milk for a lighter touch)
• ¼ cup Ciccio’s Olives Original EVOO
• 2 tbsp honey (or sugar if you prefer)
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat for a rustic touch)
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• Zest of 1 lemon (for brightness)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Prepare the Batter
   • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, olive oil, honey, lemon zest, and vanilla.
   • In another bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
   • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Don’t overmix—airy waffles need a light hand!
2. Cook to Perfection
   • Heat your waffle iron and lightly brush it with olive oil.
   • Pour in a ladle of batter and cook until golden and crisp.
3. Serve with Love
   • Drizzle with more olive oil and a touch of warm fig honey (we love our Kellerlands one!)
   • Top with compote made your way (we suggest mashing fresh lemon, blueberry, and maple syrup together!)
   • Enjoy with an espresso or a glass of chilled sweet almond milk.

    

Buon appetito! And remember, the secret is in the quality olive oil—it makes everything taste like sunshine!
