Here’s how to make Cornbread Biscuits that taste indulgent and behave like they’re good for you…

Why Biscuit & Gravy Magic Pop?
Traditional biscuit and gravy is a carb-loaded, buttery, meaty dream—delicious but kind of a heart attack on a plate. I wanted to keep the spirit alive but lighten the load, so I swapped out the biscuits for rice cakes. Not those sad, plain ones either—the kind with some crunch, a bit of salt, and a blank canvas ready for flavor.
Then, instead of that heavy, creamy white gravy heavy with cream and sausage fat, I whipped up a healthier, plant-based gravy that still hits that savory, peppery note without the guilt or the grease…

Biscuit & Gravy Waffles
Waffles, waffles, waffles! These waffles are extra special and made with a quick and easy to make biscuit like batter and then topped off with a homemade sausage gravy that takes no time at all to come together. I saw this idea a while back and once I got my waffle maker, I knew it was going to have to be on my list of things to try out.
The biscuit waffle batter is super simple and made with just a handful of pretty standard ingredients. I went with a self-rising flour just because I happened to have it on hand and I knew that it would help fluff these waffles up in just the right way.
I kept these lightened up by swapping in unsweetened almond milk where I could and also by using a turkey breakfast sausage instead of pork. My waffle maker makes REALLY BIG waffles. About a quarter of one of these waffles could stand to be a serving, but I am completely full and satisfied with half of one of these bad-boys.
These waffles ended up crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside while that sausage gravy on top was perfection to the biscuit and gravy goodness!
