Peanut Butter-Chocolate Waffles

Why peanut butter-chocolate waffles? Because I was shopping at Target and came across PB2, a peanut butter powder that has 85% less fat and calories than regular peanut butter. I was intrigued, so I bought the regular and chocolate versions! Then, I thought, "What should I do with it?!". It was the weekend, we needed breakfast, and waffles came to mind! 

Trust me, these are incredible. There's just enough peanut butter flavor without dominating the waffles. I also added mini semi-sweet chocolate chips because my boys adore them (who wouldn't?). And, since I made the waffle batter from scratch, I was able to eliminate the fat (I didn't add oil or butter), and I replaced granulated sugar with coconut sugar because it has a lower glycemic index. 

I mean, if you're going to make healthy waffles, you might as well go all out, right? Healthy or not, you will adore these!
