Honey Month Recipe: Honey Berry Waffle Sammich

by Christie O.

Trying out the Honey Berry Waffle for Honey Month Mmmmmmmmm.

OHMIGOD.

Breakfast anyone? It’s honey month all month long and I’m highlighting recipes incorporating honey into them. Which we love so much.

This Honey Berry Waffle Sandwich recipe is now one of my favorites now and I’m SO going to try to figure out how to:

1. incorporate this into my standard brunch menu (homemade waffles perhaps?) and

2. incorporate CHEESE into this. OK that will make it a little less healthy but can’t you just PICTURE some delicious mix of mascarpone in here? You’ll see what I mean in a minute.

This takes very little time to actually make and it’s berry-decadent. Waffles with berries, drenched in a berry honey sauce. TO.DIE.FOR.

Here’s the recipe (feel free to print it out or pin it!)

Honey Berry Waffle Sammich

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup fresh berries divided, I used strawberries and raspberries because raspberries were on sale. Blueberries work too.
1 tbsp butter
1/3 cup honey
8 frozen waffles. I use Vans Whole Grain or Aunt Jemima (which are not whole grain but they have no preservatives)

Directions:

Puree 1/2 cup of washed berries in a blender and set aside. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add honey. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then add berry puree. Simmer 2-3 minutes or until syrup thickens a little. Set the syrup aside and keep warm. Toast the waffles. Top 1 waffle with 1/4 cup fresh berries, then drizzle with 1/4 cup of syrup. Top sandwich with remaining waffle. (Note: I did this a little differently than the directions call for, I drizzled 1/8 cup over berries and topped the waffle with the rest.)

This makes 4 servings of heaven. Add nuts, sprinkle flaxseed on there, sunflower seeds, the possibilities for this are endless!

Unmake-upped at my home “office” with DELICIOUS WAFFLES OHMIGOD!

It was so delicious I had to take a picture to share my excitement because I had no one to tell when I was eating them! I HAD TO SHARE MY GLEE!

Enjoy!
