I don’t know about you, but my favorite kind of waffles are the sweet ones. Unfortunately, my favorite waffle house waffles are super bad for me… so, naturally, I came up with a healthy alternative. I’m confident that people who love dessert for breakfast are going to love these!

The sweetness from these waffles comes solely from maple syrup. I’m a big fan of maple syrup for many reasons.

1. It tastes better than sugar.
2. It has the most nutrients per serving than any other sweetener.
3. I can buy it local because of where I live.

The incredible combo of maple syrup and pecans is definitely up there with banana and peanut butter. It’s not as healthy, so I try not to go overboard with it, but a waffle or slice of banana bread now and then is just what a girl needs.
