PARTNER POST: We’ve teamed up with Bonne Maman to bring you the best homemade breakfast and brunch recipes to show Mom you care this Mother’s Day and all spring long.
With all the flavors of a PB & J, this waffle batter is made with peanut butter and served with Strawberry Preserves.
I talked about Mother’s Day gifts earlier this week, but I’m a big fan of celebrating the day by creating food memories, too! I was such a PB&J kid growing up… my Mom must have made me THOUSANDS of them over the years. So, this Mother’s Day, I thought I’d whip up a grown up version for her in the form of PB&J WAFFLES. Smothered in Bonne Maman preserves.
If you’ve never tried Bonne Maman, you’ve got to change that ASAP. Not only are their products produced in France and DELISH, but they’re also made with all natural ingredients/fresh fruit with no high fructose corn syrup, artificial coloring or preservatives. And if you’re about to tell me you can’t make these delicious PB&J waffles because you don’t have a waffle iron – just buy one already! 
Now I’ll admit, I really wanted to create some sort of peanut butter drizzle… but I could not figure out how to get it right! Do any of you know how to make it happen without adding extra sugar? I also tried to avoid a super oily PB for this recipe, but now I think that would have worked better.
Moral of the story: if I figure out how to make a pretty drizzle happen, I’ll update this post ASAP. I promise!

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of peanut butter should I use for the PB & J waffles?
It’s best to use a creamy peanut butter that isn’t too oily, as this will give the best texture to the waffle batter.
Can I substitute the Strawberry Preserves with another flavor?
Yes, you can use any Bonne Maman preserves you prefer, such as raspberry or apricot, to change the flavor profile of the waffles.
How can I create a peanut butter drizzle for the waffles without adding sugar?
You might try thinning creamy peanut butter with a bit of warm water or milk to achieve a drizzle consistency without adding sugar.
