Topping Time

•    Use fresh fruits, yogurt, or nut butter instead of syrup.
•    Sprinkle chia or flaxseeds for added nutrition.

Storage & Reheating

• Freeze leftover waffles and reheat in a toaster or oven.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Making it a Meal

• Pair with eggs or nut butter for protein.
