This recipe was a no-brainer. The staff has been cooking with our Roast Chai for years. This masala blend is nutty, warm, and toasted; making it delicious for baked goods. This chai has coriander, cinnamon, fennel, cumin, black pepper, and cloves. This Chai is malty and, once added to the buttermilk waffle batter, the topping was obvious to us. Apples! Living in the Pacific Northwest, we can’t get enough of them right now! We would like to think they balance out the dab of butter mounted on our waffle stack. Having alternative breakfast options is always a good idea, so we kept this recipe gluten-free, but you would never know it by the looks and taste.
