Last weekend I was struck by a very intense craving for one of my nostalgic childhood foods, so I hightailed it to the grocery store to buy some frozen waffles. I've said before that some of the best sandwiches evoke memories, and this recipe goes back when I was maybe 7 or 8, and my mom fixed me some waffles before realizing we were out of syrup. She improvised to make this sandwich, and "peanut butter and jelly waffles" soon became one of my favorite meals.Like the nonwaffly version, this PB&J is very easy to make and can inspire countless variations: almond instead of peanut butter, different flavors of waffles or even waffles from scratch, honey in place of jelly, Elvis-style with bananas, and on and on. To see what I did, read more.


This time I used Eggo cinnamon waffles, which I highly recommend. The only requirement for this breakfast or lunch sandwich — and what sets it apart from a traditional PB&J — is using hot, toasted waffles, which melt the peanut butter in just the right warm and comfy way.

How would you make your peanut butter and jelly waffles?

    wow - i have NEVER thought to use waffles for my PB&J but i think that it's really innovative and somewhat fun looking. i think that if i come across waffles in my house then i'll try this one. (ok waffles at my mom's house since i know that i won't ever buy them myself)

    I keep frozen waffles at work and pop them in the toaster oven in the morning (but I use almond butter, since I can't have PB).
