We recently discovered the wonders of almond butter (or rather, got the OK from the doctor to try it).  As a mom, I am so happy to cross almonds off the list of potential allergens.  As a food blogger, I am so excited – a new ingredient to play with in the kitchen!  My list of recipes to make got long, but at the top of the list was Adam’s favorite – either waffles or pancakes.  I decided to experiment with my Sunbutter Waffle recipe, which is a solid buttermilk waffle recipe that we enjoy often.  However, this time, not only did I swap out the sunbutter for almond butter, but I also decided to use melted I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter ® Deliciously Simple ™  spread in place of the oil.

Chocolate Banana Whole Wheat Waffles

Chocolate Banana Whole Wheat Waffles

Chocolate Banana Whole Wheat Waffles are made with buttermilk, whole wheat flour and sweetened with mashed bananas.  They are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy chocolate for breakfast!

While usually a pancake house, we recently branched out into the world of waffles with Sunbutter Wafffles.  I was excited to find these Chocolate Banana Whole Wheat Waffles because the flavor is similar to my everyday oatmeal – cocoa powder and naturally sweetened with banana.   The chocolate and banana are subtle, yet together with the buttermilk, produce a wonderful breakfast treat.  These waffles are delicious and are a welcome addition to our breakfast rotation!…

Sunbutter Waffles

Sunbutter Waffles - whole wheat, buttermilk waffles made nut-free with sunflower seed butter.  Kids LOVE these!

Sunbutter Waffles are whole wheat, buttermilk waffles made with sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter (or other nut butter), making them a nut-free alternative.  While perfect just as-is, we also enjoy them topped with additional sunbutter, berries or maple syrup.

We have had a waffles iron for years, but for whatever reason it hasn’t been used much…well, until recently.  If you’re a regular reader, you know how much my Adam loves pancakes.  At least once per week, I make his favorite kind(s) of pancakes to load up the freezer and/or just to have on hand.  Sometimes I would end up making a double (or triple!) batch.  On my small little griddle, this exercise could take hours.  A labor of love I guess.  These days, with a newborn in the house, it’s a bit tricky to devote that much time to cooking or baking anything.  On a whim, I decided to try my hand at waffles.  Due to Adam’s peanut allergy, I opted to transform my beloved peanut butter waffles into sunbutter waffles.  I was pleased to discover cooking waffles is much quicker than flipping pancakes.  And Adam had 5 waffles for breakfast that day.   Operation waffle was a success!
