Drunken Peach & Fig WAP!

WAP or “Waffles and Pancakes” are what we’re referring to in this recipe and just like any other WAP you may encounter, a basic necessity and good for the soul!

I played with this recipe (haha) a bit to marry a combination of Summer fruits and Fall flavors for a perfect breakfast recipe during this time of year when we really aren’t sure if we want Summer to end but also really love Fall. Try it out and let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

• Pancake mix (I used Krusteaze)
• Driven “Vanilla Dream” Whey protein (optional)
• Planet Oat Vanilla Oat milk
• Crown Royal peach whiskey
• 4-5 fresh figs
• 3 peaches
• cinnamon
• Unsalted butter
• 1 egg
• vanilla extract
• Light Brown sugar
• bacon

First, begin cooking bacon on medium heat. While bacon is cooking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a separate pan on medium heat. Then stir in 2 teaspoons of light brown sugar and keep stirring til bubbly. Add your sliced peaches, sprinkle with cinnamon or toss in a cinnamon stick and turn the heat down to medium low. Add in 1/4 cup of peach whiskey and allow the peaches to continue cooking while stirring occasionally.

Don’t forget to check and remove the bacon from heat to cool when done.

While the peaches simmer, follow the instructions on your pancake mix for serving size, subbing water for equal parts oat milk and whiskey. Yes, I used a boxed mix to make things simpler. I’m still a busy mom who enjoys cooking occasionally so I don’t hesitate taking shortcuts when necessary. Keep the batter on the *slightly thicker side for fluffier pancakes and add a little water if necessary. Whisk in one egg, and 1 scoop of HIGH quality/good tasting protein (optional) and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to your batter.

Once your batter is combined and your peaches have softened, you may gently stir in your sliced figs, coating them in the sweet buttery mixture and remove from heat to allow the mixture to thicken slightly.

Cook your pancakes and waffles as you would normally to a light golden brown. When you’re ready to serve top with chopped bacon, drunken peaches and figs, and ENJOY!
