Sure, Nutella is a little crazy on the sugar side, which is why we use our own homemade healthier Nutella. Woooo hoo! You haven’t made some yet? What are you waiting for?! Whilst it can be tempting to dive head first in to a jar of it, or just spread it on toast, there is so much more you can do with it. Like make these waffles!
I can’t remember the last time we missed our Sunday morning waffle tradition. It started when I was pregnant and I wanted to eat everything in sight and now Avery is eating whatever we eat, it has turned in to a nice little family tradition.
Waffles are pretty basic with the standard recipe, so we try to change it up each time so we don’t get bored. Is it possible to get bored of waffles? It’s not just about changing up the toppings, but adding different things in to the batter itself. Not just flavours, but texture too. Try adding some chopped up nuts to your waffle batter mix next time!
Don’t just stop at waffles, you can make Nutella pancakes with our homemade Nutella too and just add some to the batter. You will need to add a little extra liquid to your pancake so they aren’t really sticky from the Nutella. Make sure you don’t forget the strawberries - Nutella and strawberries are a dream combination.

How do I not have any Nutella in world Nutella day? I often make Nutella pancakes, but waffles sound amazing too. Interesting idea to use oats in the mix.

I love Belgian waffles. Great inspiration to add the homemade Nutella into the batter.

I am really tempted to make these for dinner, as I think I have all the ingredients. I would be using real Nutella though, don’t judge me ;)
Nadia
My kids would happily eat Nutella all day every day, so I have to try this healthier version. I might just shove it in an old Nutella jar and hope they don’t notice.

I love that there is a day dedicated to nutella. As if I need an excuse though. I think this might have to be our Sunday morning treat breakfast! It looks so good and it’s making my stir fry that I’m cooking look rather sad.

I have topped waffles with nutella before but never thought to add it to the batter! Such a great idea and perfect for a Valentine's Day breakfast!
Deanna
I love nutella! These waffles look super yummy!

Healthy Nutella? What is this witchcraft and why have I not tried it before? Haha.
How long would it last for? I guess I could make a smaller portion of it.

I really need a waffle maker too.
