In terms of taste and texture waffles are simply superior. Their buttery flavor and crispy exterior will far outshine any kind of buttered toast. But the best part about this swap is all the pockets on the surfaces of the waffles. They hold your peanut butter and jelly toppings for you along with any additional toppings you have in mind so you can be much more generous with your spreads and jams. You’ll also find that you have a much less messy sandwich since all the deep pockets are much more spill-proof than flat white bread.
This breakfast-meets-comfort-food mashup is sure to satisfy both your appetite and your inner child. But even better? It shouldn’t take you longer than 20 minutes total to make so even if you’re super busy a waffle PB&J can still be on the menu.
There are plenty of ways to shake up your PB&J waffle sandwich. The easiest way is to experiment with different types of nut butter preferably homemade. Instead of peanut butter give almond or cashew butter a try. While they still have a spreadable texture they have very different flavor profiles than peanut butter so they can be quite a change of pace. And for those with peanut allergies these other nut butters make great substitutes.
