Chilly fall mornings call for only one thing – a warm, comforting breakfast made with the seasonal flavors of fall! Agreed?
Mr. Table and I love hanging out in our PJs with Queen C, drinking coffee and making pancakes or waffles on the weekends. It’s a fun tradition that lets us spend a little time together and makes our weekends at home feel special.
To celebrate the fall season, I came up with these delicious whole grain caramel apple waffles. Sounds so cozy and indulgent, doesn’t it?
Indulgences on weekends (or any time!) are more than okay, but I usually make our pancakes and waffles on the healthy side since we eat them fairly often, and these caramel apple waffles are no different.
They’re made with whole wheat flour, fresh apples, and Dannon Light and Fit Original Greek Caramel Apple Pie Nonfat Yogurt and then topped with a super easy caramel apple topping.
An extra dollop of yogurt on top adds a little extra protein so that these waffles aren’t just delicious, they’ve got a little extra nutrition too! I like to eat one yogurt every day as a way to create a more balanced diet and a healthier lifestyle. Yogurt can be part of a healthy eating pattern as a smart snack, convenient part of breakfast, delicious cooking ingredient, or great choice for dessert.
And the good news is healthy choices, like Greek yogurt, don’t have to be boring! With a balanced variety of delicious choices, like the Caramel Apple Pie flavor that I used to create these yummy waffles, Dannon Light & Fit has better-for-you options that also fit your active lifestyle!
If you’ve got some fall apples that are ready to be made into something cozy and comforting, these caramel apple waffles are just the breakfast for you. Snuggle up with a fork, a blanket, and your favorite person, and enjoy the season!
