This dish is fun and fairly simple to make. If you don’t have a waffle maker anddon’t want the hassle, pick up some good quality waffles and reheat them. You can even skip out on the house-made Nutella if you would rather. That would make this recipe extremely simple to make, but I like the idea of knowing what is going into my meals, and preparing this myself allows me to do so.
