Fluffy, golden waffles made better with a sprinkling of your favorite granola and topped off with an extra special butter pecan syrup.
Maple syrup is elevated to decadent new heights by buttery toasted nuts slowly simmered together to make a thick, sticky-sweet sauce. You will want to spoon this stuff over everything. It’s the best part.
The waffles have creamy interiors and crispy outsides. Their light texture combined with the chewy granola and the crunch of the nutty syrup is a threesome made in heaven. If you don’t like granola substitute dried fruit in its place.
I’m not one for carb-filled breakfasts. I’m more of a protein-packed-bacon-and-eggs-kind-of-girl but the lovely new waffle maker in my life is making it hard for me to stick to that regimen. How can I resist? With its five of hearts pattern I want to make waffles all the time.
I’m a total sucker for cute food. No resistance. At all. Ever.

Sometimes I think as bloggers we completely forgot about posting breakfast recipes. Speaking of which, I’m completely drawn to anything with granola in it. These waffles look incredible!
Glad to see you got a very cute waffle maker.
