If you like, top the waffles with sliced bananas, maple syrup and chopped fresh peanuts for a take on the peanut butter and banana sandwich!

Rachel Douglas says:
These PBJ waffles are my kids favorite (except for my daughter who despises peanut butter). They turned out pretty fantastic, and if you like peanut butter you'll be an instant fan. I bet this recipe also works wonderfully with Nutella. I will try that next time!
Jordan Clark says:
Addicted to these delicious PB&J waffles. I also mixed mashed bananas into the batter. These are perfect with probably any flavor jelly, but I used a chocolate syrup drizzle!
Sam Dalton says:
These peanut butter and jelly waffles are addicting. I'm definitely guilty of hogging these all for myself. I used store bought strawberry jelly and it was fantastic.
Greg Jones says:
Definitely one of my favorite waffle recipes to make for the entire family. It tastes just like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but better because it's a waffle. Once you try these, you'll be addicted.
Katie Hason says:
Hands down the best waffles I have ever had! Maybe it's the big kid in me, but PB&J and waffles together is a match made in heaven. I actually cut my waffles up and dipped them in a small bowl of jelly. It was that delicious! Definitely a new fave.
