Hello Crispy Whole Wheat Belgian Waffles.
AND dark chocolate hummus. oh.my.god.
We are starting the new year than with a big plate of hot crispy waffles and lotssss of coffee.
I don’t know about you guys, but my waffles have to be crispy. Reallyyy crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside – which is why Belgian style waffles are always my choice of a carb-loaded breakfast.
Since its the new year, we are making Whole Wheat Belgian Waffles – yes, we’re starting 2018 on the right foot! The batter is light and produces the fluffiest, crispiest, golden brown waffles.
And to make this breakfast extra special, I topped the waffles with a spoonful of Boar’s Head Dark Chocolate Hummus and it was just heavenly.
The Dark Chocolate Hummus is so delicious, rich, and indulgent. But, the best part is that is is guilt free!
When I first discovered this hummus, I couldn’t believe how amazing it tasted. It’s gluten free, non-GMO, and made with REAL ingredients. Yup, chickpeas, cocoa, organic sugar, and vanilla. That’s it!
Put this on top of your waffles! It’s basically all I could think about.
