Start by making the crumble: In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.

Mix the dry ingredients before adding 3 tablespoons of very cold cubed butter to keep the crumble texture.

Use a pastry blender or fork to mix until crumbly, then spread it onto a foil-lined sheet pan sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake the crumble in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.

Prepare the candied bacon by mixing 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne.

Spread the mixture over the bacon and bake in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes, then increase the temperature to 400°F for another 5-6 minutes until done.

After 10 minutes, stir the crumble to break it apart and return it to the oven at 350°F for an additional 2-3 minutes to dry it out.

For the peaches, use 3 peaches without peeling them, adding them to a pot with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water over medium-high heat.

Cook the peaches for about 3-4 minutes until soft, then remove them with a slotted spoon, leaving the juice behind.

Make a peach syrup by adding another 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water to the remaining juice, along with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water to create a slurry.

Bring the mixture to a boil and let it reduce, noting that it will thicken as it cools.

Prepare the waffle batter by mixing the dry ingredients in a large bowl, making a well in the center for the wet ingredients.

Ensure all wet ingredients, including buttermilk, are warm to prevent the butter from solidifying.

Grease the waffle maker with coconut oil for a crispier waffle, then pour in the batter and close the waffle maker.

Watch the peaches while the waffles cook, ensuring they are soft and ready to be removed.

Plate the dish by placing a waffle down, topping it with peaches, and adding the peach syrup and candied bacon for presentation.

Finish with whipped cream and the cooled crumble on top.
