It doesn’t get better than whole wheat waffles. You have freedom to add any crazy toppings you want.
When I had waffles as a kid, I would always coat them with butter. Of course, that’s not my kind of thing anymore. I’m more of a maple syrup of peanut butter girl now.
I could write a whole book full of healthy waffle topping ideas. Here are a few that come to mind:
Berries
Coconut whipped cream
Peanut butter
Melted dark chocolate
Sugar-free jam
baked apple slices
banana slices
These awesome waffles are:
Super fluffy
Wonderfully vanilla-y
Anything but boring
Cakey
Warm & comforting
