- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Peach Topping:
- 2 cups fresh or canned peaches (sliced)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Toppings:
- ½ cup crushed cinnamon graham crackers or cereal

Directions
- Make the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth, being careful not to overmix.
- Cook the Waffles: Preheat the waffle iron and lightly grease it with butter or nonstick spray. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown and crispy. Keep warm.
- Prepare the Peach Topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the peaches soften. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Waffle: Place a warm waffle on a plate and generously spoon the peach topping over it. Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and drizzle with caramel sauce and sweetened condensed milk.
- Serve & Enjoy: Best enjoyed warm. For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
