I don’t know if it’s the onset of gorgeous weather or Queen Bey’s latest literal masterpiece, but I’m all up in a lemon’s business. Sipping on water refreshed by lemon slices and lemon juice while devising ways to add lemons to everything consumable. Enter today’s recipe for Lemon Poppy Seed Cornmeal Waffles.

These waffles taste like lemon cake and who doesn’t want lemon cake for breakfast?? No one.

Within a few days of watching Lemonade I had this recipe floating around in my head. It took me a few more days to put the connection together.

The just-right flavor comes from freshly zested lemons and fresh-squeezed lemon juice. Two bright components that account for tremendous flavor and also add bright specks of citrus sunshine throughout the batter. You can eat these waffles continuously for weeks and not tire of them. Personal guarantee.

I played around with the ratio of chia flour to cornmeal to flour to get the perfect texture. These waffles don’t have eggs, oil, or milk and you would never know. Chia flour adds a small amount of fat, healthy omegas, fiber, and even protein all while helping bind things together.

You can have decadent breakfasts throughout the week in just a few minutes by reheating them in the toaster.

Poppy seeds are surprisingly nutrient dense. Prior to writing this I thought they just added color and texture as they don’t really have a prominent flavor. As it turns out they are a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and potassium.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Who knew??

I love them with a little Earth Balance, powdered sugar, and maple syrup. Jeremy likes them plain with maple syrup. You do you.
