Brunch can truly make or break your Sunday.
If you start off Sunday with a boring brunch (I'm looking at you, cold toast!), you're gearing yourself up for a boring day. If you treat yourself to something really magical on Sunday morning, it gets your day started on the right foot. You're ready to fill your day with even more awesomeness. Sunday brunch is important.
Take these spiced orange cacao nib waffles for instance. As soon as you smell these babies cooking in the waffle iron, you'll know you're right on track to an amazing brunch. And day.
The pairing of orange with a touch of bitter chocolate (via the cacao nibs) is absolutely dreamy. The only thing better is the way these subtly spiced waffles taste with the warm, gingery fig compote and a few fresh orange slices. It's totally decadent Brunch Bliss.
I mean, look at them!

ohgoodgolly you've totally solved the ridiculously persistent fig newton craving I've had lately. I don't think I'll ever crave them again now that I can make these. Thanks so much for the recipe...you rock!
Best Sunday stuff is anything that involves soaking up the last of the warm summer sunshine. 🙂

Orange and cacao nibs sound amazing, but the addition of fig is just SO GOOD!!

I've gotten to a habit of brunching with a good friend of mine every Sunday, and you're right- it's truly an amazing start to an amazing day! We really should start brunching more at home though, think you've inspired me! What awesome flavours you packed into these waffles 🙂

Wow, these are beautiful, they sound so amazing!

I love what you did here, Kristy. I never would've thought of making a compote out of figs (or putting orange and spices in a waffle), but it looks like a winning combo. Can't wait to give this a try. And, as always, gorgeous gorgeous pictures. 🙂

WOAH! These waffles look amazing and like the perfect Sunday Brunch Breakie! I have been slacking on the Sunday Brunch front lately and I need to get back to it! You are so right - it is important 🙂 Pinned!

This looks unbelievably good.
That is one big waffle iron. Where did you get it?
My waffle iron has much smaller squares.

Thanks, Joe! It's a Belgian Waffle Maker so the squares are bigger and deeper. 🙂
