I’m a sucker for PB&Js, but I have to admit, I don’t eat them nearly as frequently as I used to. It could be because I opt for leftovers for lunches instead of sandwiches, or the fact I know longer am in school. Whatever the case, I miss that nostalgic combo! What better way to have those flavors than to combine them with a waffle. Each bite of these 6 Ingredient, Decadent Vegan PB&J Waffles is full of nostalgia and comfort.
If we’re making a PB&J Waffle, it needs to be as easy as a straight-up PB&J, right? That’s why these waffles only have 6, common place ingredients:
Flour
Baking Powder
Strawberries
Non-Dairy Vanilla Milk
Peanut Butter
& Maple Syrup
We’ll be making our ‘jelly’ with fresh or frozen strawberries. I pureed about 12 whole strawberries in my blender, and divided the liquid in half. You should have about 2 cups total of pureed, blended strawberries. You’ll put half of them in the batter to sweeten the waffles, and the other half you’ll use as a sauce for the waffles.
Make sure the berries you’re using are ripe and sweet! If the strawberries aren’t super sweet, you’ll want to mix in a few extra tablespoons of maple syrup into the puree.
Our peanut butter will be in the form of a rich, sweet peanut butter sauce. To make this you’ll want to melt some peanut butter and mix it with maple syrup and a few tablespoons of non-dairy vanilla milk. It should be a pourable consistency that you can drizzle on top of the waffles.
Get ‘Em While They’re Hot
These decadent vegan PB&J waffles only take about 10-15 minutes to make. After they come out of the waffle iron, drizzle on the strawberry sauce and the peanut butter sauce. These waffles are extra tasty topped with fresh fruit, vegan butter, or additional maple syrup. You can store ’em in the fridge for 5 days or wrapped up and frozen for a few months!
