Versatile, delicious and healthy
This versatile recipe for either waffles or pancakes is not just delicious but healthy too. Pecans offer antioxidants that may help promote heart health and are a rich source of vitamin E. By skipping the syrup and replacing it with fresh berries, this dish provides another source of powerful antioxidants, plus fiber!
