I’ve seen a few recipes for peanut butter and jelly waffles and just had to try and figure out my own version. Originally I planned on including a waffle recipe from scratch and then I remembered that I have 3 kids and I don’t have time to shower let alone make waffles from scratch, so… Read more »
