Cardamom Sour Cream Waffles

Makes 7 servings

Waffles are everybody’s favorite breakfast food, but too often they’re topped with junk and sweetened with unholy amounts of sugar. Cue the Cardamon Sour Cream Waffles. These waffles are sweet but not overwhelmingly sugary, and filled with heart-healthy nutrients. Instead of using whipped cream, chocolate sauce and sticky syrup, top these glorious waffles with fresh fruit. Your taste buds won’t regret it, and neither will your health.
