Beeting Hearts Pink Chocolate Chip Waffles

What’s better than waking up to a beautiful breakfast? Talk about a splendid way to start to your day! Try making these pink waffles for that special someone, friend, or family to show them how much you care for them! These waffles have ZERO dye! I used Beet Powder to get the pink color, and if you carefully add the powder, you cannot taste the beets! Not only do these have waffles have zero dye, they also are whole grain and have added flaxseed. These waffles are fluffy, sweet, and even have chocolate chips!

My family was so happy to receive these waffles on Valentine’s Day. They were even more surprised when I told them there were beets in the waffles, because they could not taste them! As always, we look forward to hearing your thoughts.
