Chocolate Waffles

Anyone else breakfast fans like me? I could seriously have breakfast food at anytime of the day. I can never decide between savory and sweet so I always do a mix of both. These waffles are a great addition to your breakfast or brunch rotation. They have added spinach in them too but you don’t need to tell anyone that ;)

Don’t worry about the spinach in them, I swear you can’t taste it but you get all the great health benefits from it. I love these topped with good old maple syrup and fruit, but my kids love them topped with peanut butter and bananas. Great combo to try!

Pro top - These freeze really well so make a large batch and freeze them for quick and easy meals in the morning. Just pop them in the microwave to heat up.
