Bare Life Hot Chocolate Waffles
Breakfast for Dessert?
So many of us have breakfast for dinner because it is an easy way to prepare a meal at the end of the day, but many frown upon the idea of breakfast for dessert. This does not have to be the case because there are so many ways to enjoy breakfast in a dessert kind of way.
I know, I know, I am always talking about enjoying foods that are nutrionally dense, so how does dessert fit into breakfast? By turning plain waffles into chocolate flavored waffles that are topped with blueberries and homemade whipped coconut cream. This is exactly how I enjoy these Bare Life Chocolate Waffles making them a berries and cream delight. Don’t like blueberries? Try your favorite fruit or a safe-for-you nut or seed butter spread instead. How about a faux “peanut” butter cup sandwhich to start your day or pack it for your little one(s) for lunch? Now that is what I call a Mom-win!
It’s March so let’s support a woman-owned business by ordering Bare Life mix and using discount code MENA while saving a little. And for more chocolate recipes, check out my cookbook Confections of a Chocoholic.
