Waffles are a classic celebratory breakfast. Their health value can be elevated by skipping the syrup, making them whole grain, topping them with fresh strawberries and a light creamy topping. This healthier twist on a traditional favorite will satisfies the sweet tooth while providing fiber and nutrients. Serving them with a creamy Greek yogurt sauce sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with vanilla extract adds a bit of protein, calcium and vitamin D.
