I’ll admit it…we LOVE frozen waffles here. I know I could make my own and freeze them (and I do do that with pancakes and french toast), but the size of Eggo waffles (ahem, or their generic counterpart) is perfect, and I figure I can get a big box for $1.89 and get two meals out of it, so it’s worth the convenience.

That said, we do consider syrup on waffles to be a special treat. Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE syrup on waffles. But I fight mommy guilt when I give the girls sugary breakfasts, so I look for alternatives whenever I can.

Our solution to this is simple and yummy: yogurt & fruit waffles.

I use a fruit- or vanilla-flavored yogurt as a spread rather than butter and syrup and then top it with mounds of fresh fruit. In the winter, I use frozen blueberries and raspberries as well as bananas. The combinations are virtually endless, and it’s a breakfast I can feel good about serving!
