Choose whole wheat waffles to sneak whole grains into your diet.

Wash the peaches and cut off any bruised parts, leaving the skin on for added nutrients.

Dice 4 peaches, which adds up to about 2 cups.

In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water and whisk to avoid lumps.

Add the cornstarch mixture to a saucepan along with 3 tablespoons of honey and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup.

Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring with a fork or whisk to prevent burning.

After about a minute, reduce the heat and add vanilla extract and cinnamon.

Fold in the diced peaches into the thickened sauce.

If using unripe peaches, keep the pot on low simmer to soften them.

Toast the waffles and serve with the peach mixture on top.
