What an amazing summer. Lots of sunshine, smiles and happiness at my house. I love the longer hours of daylight and the weekends filled with giggles and fun. But now I’m exhausted and ready to get back into the routine of school. Somehow, I don’t think Butters is quite as ready for the fun to come to an end.

She loves school, but the first couple of days are always the hardest. One surefire way to get her going is with a good breakfast. Something quick and tasty that will put a smile on her face.

For Weekday Waffles, you will need…weekday waffles
2 eggs
2 c. flour
1 tbsp. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. salted butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp. vanilla extract
fruit and syrup for topping

These waffles are a great way to get her filled up and ready to face the day. The fresh fruit topping is a good way to get the day started with a serving of fruits and veggies, too.

First, combine all of your dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are frothy. Next, add the other liquid ingredients.

Preheat and prep the waffle iron with cooking spray. While you are waiting for it to heat up, you should combine the wet mixture into the dry mix bowl, stirring constantly to remove any lumps until everything is smooth.

These waffles are so good. Just the smell of them cooking gets my sweet girl moving and they taste even better. I hope everyone is enjoying the new adventure of another school year. Make sure to get the day started right with a well-balanced breakfast. From all of us at Texas Table Top, enjoy!
