I almost don’t know if I want to qualify these delicious delights as breakfast or dessert, they’re kind of both! Sweet and savory waffle recipes are so much fun to play around with, and these chocolate waffles definitely fit the bill.
When it comes to treats, I’m weird. I tend to classify anything that doesn’t have chocolate as traditionally sweet, and everything with chocolate or nuts as savory sweet.
I know, it’s weird.
If I want to satisfy a sweets craving, I need a sweet sweet, but sometimes I need a savory sweet, especially if I lack a salty snack to balance everything out.
I’m comfortable making my kids these sweet and savory waffle recipes because they only require a few simple ingredients, and because I can top them with a minty triple berry compote instead of traditional syrup.
Yum.
Lately, I’ve been swapping out my regular sugar for Florida Crystals, because they are America’s first and only producer of certified organic sugar that’s 100% suitable for vegetarian and vegan cuisine.
