These Waffle Recipes Are Serious Brunch Material

The weekend is a prime time to catch up on sleep and indulge yourself with a well-earned brunch. Especially waffles -- thick, fluffy waffles topped with all your favourite toppings.

While your stock standard waffles with maple syrup are great, there's a whole world of waffle creations you can bring to your breakfast table, both sweet and savoury.

Think chocolate chip banana bread waffles, peppermint mocha waffles, chicken and waffle sliders, and crispy bacon waffles with bourbon butter and blueberry syrup.
