PB&J Banana Buckwheat Waffles


Waffles are so much more than dough-based cakes that are generally eaten for breakfast


The bread of the waffle is soft and fluffy, the edges slightly toasted and crisp. Their square nooks and crannies are vehicles for holding the delicious toppings that will soon be spread


Butter, maple syrup, jam, peanut butter, fruit and berries,
 chocolate, cheese, eggs, meat... there's no shortage of toppings


Nature's Path Organic Wild Berry Buckwheat Waffles


Wheat free and gluten free


Ingredients: Water, brown rice flour, potato starch, yellow corn flour, 
soy oil, tapioca starch, granulated sugar cane juice, buckwheat flour, 
blueberry pieces, rice flour, palm kernel oil, pectin, natural flavour, potato 
flour, baking powder, soy lecithin, natural blueberry flavour and sea salt

How the waffles look on the box...


And how the waffles look inside


They look even better than the picture on the box!


Time to pop a waffle in the toaster and grab my scrumptious toppings...


Homemade Berry Jam that my boss made


I believe it's made with blackberries, raspberries and blueberries


She warned the texture was more like a smoothie


It tasted unbelievable! I find some jams to be too astringent and robustly sweet, or 
on the flip side, too bitter/tart. This jam was just the right balance, sweet and smooth


First I spread Kraft Natural Chunky Peanut Butter on top of the toasted waffle


Then a spoonful of the homemade jam went on


Paired with a sliced banana


Sure this tastes just as good on a thick and fresh slice of bread, but only
a waffle can collect pools of peanut butter and jam in its square grooves


My favourite way to enjoy waffles is traditionally made with 
butter and maple syrup, although most waffles are served 
with whipped butter or whipped cream and berry syrup compote


Supposedly the ultimate waffle combo is waffles, 
peanut butter, fried chicken and bacon! Mmmmm


Question: How do you usually dress your waffles?

I am not sure if you can get Van's waffles there, but The blueberry ones are to die for. Prefer them over any other gluten free brand :)

I love putting pb&j on my waffles - totally trumps maple syrup any day. I haven't had waffles in ages. Might just have to buy some next time they are on sale :)

I usually use whipped cream and strawberries or syrup on my waffles.
