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 strawberry preserves.
Look for a preserve that’s 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 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.
