For the longest time I’d go back and forth thinking I was one or the other until I finally made my peace with my indecision and reached a point of realizing I’d never be able to choose. Besides, why can’t I choose both? I’m plenty satisfied being the Switzerland of the pancake/waffle world (which, by the way, is the kind of world I wanna live. You know what I’m sayin’?) ![Chocolate Spelt Waffles + Maple Nut Butter Syrup (Vegan)-5.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSX5nUPtY4jdEvK9zc5ySoTzqdKVVckmGBQGFvjygKs88/Chocolate%20Spelt%20Waffles%20+%20Maple%20Nut%20Butter%20Syrup%20(Vegan)-5.jpg) So when I was a kid we used to always put peanut butter on our waffles before drizzling them with tons of syrup. That combo is just too good to forget. The best! That’s why I thought I’d cut down on a step and make a quick syrup from this simple duo that you can just pour over your waffles. It really isn’t a recipe, but if you didn’t grow up putting that combo on your waffles it might seem fancy. ![Chocolate Spelt Waffles + Maple Nut Butter Syrup (Vegan)-3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcH1Ko7CCPMTd4ncTbtHq8LYL6oD6UEz4gsss36vVaLoS/Chocolate%20Spelt%20Waffles%20+%20Maple%20Nut%20Butter%20Syrup%20(Vegan)-3.jpg) The waffles themselves are pretty basic but I’ve been playing with some different flours recently and I thought some spelt would add a little bit of wholesomeness. With me being me I couldn’t think of anything I’d rather top mine with than some fresh berries, but you can go crazy with the toppings and add whatever you want. ![Chocolate Spelt Waffles + Maple Nut Butter Syrup (Vegan)-4.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSUCqkGx7zGrPR8kdwCScrDaZKDKpq3WWnroogUBFapvE/Chocolate%20Spelt%20Waffles%20+%20Maple%20Nut%20Butter%20Syrup%20(Vegan)-4.jpg)
