If we were to put out a personal ad for the perfect breakfast, it might look something like this: Hungry human seeks sweet buttery waffles with a wild side (gooey fruit compote, maple syrup AND whipped cream). Calorie and fat packed platters need not apply! Well instead of waiting around for our dream b-fast to magically appear, we’ve created it! Not only is ours a major nutritional bargain compared to restaurant versions (saving you over 800 calories and close to 40 fat grams!), but it’s also incredibly easy to whip up in your own kitchen (no pesky pots ’n pans required). HG TIP! We made this recipe with strawberry topping, but try it out with all your fave fruits: cherries, blueberries, apples (chop ’em up and add a bit of cinnamon), raspberries, blackberries and more.
