Maple-Peanut Butter Waffles With Peanut Buttery Maple Syrup

Submitted by wife2abadge

"From the cookbook The Peanut Butter Planet, these are so rich and delicious, especially served with Peanut Buttery Maple Syrup. The syrup is also good on ice cream! I had to combine the ingredients because I couldn't figure out how to make a recipe with two parts, so I hope it isn't too confusing. Just pay attention to amounts I guess."

I was curious about this recipe since it sounded great, but was given such a low rating. My three incredibly picky children, and I loved these waffles, and the syrup is amazing. I thought it was interesting that there are no eggs in this recipe, but I followed the instructions, and they turned out beautifully. They had a nice, crisp texture on the outside, and were nice and soft on the inside. They were easy for my little ones to cut by themselves too. They had a mild maple-peanut butter flavor that went perfectly with the syrup ( which I could have eaten by the spoonful!). We also tried them with a thin layer of grape jam, with syrup drizzled over top . . . which my children liked, but I liked it with just the syrup. I will definitely make this again. It is the best peanut butter waffle recipe I've tried.

I made these this morning for my family, thinking they would love them, as they are all big waffle and peanut butter eaters, but, unfortunately and surprisingly, not one of the four liked these. I made exactly as posted. Though they smelled wonderful and I liked the syrup (would be good on ice cream), I won't be making these again.
