Hello my almond butter loving friends. If you're new to HEAB, you may like to subscribe to my RSS feed or receive my posts via email. Thanks for reading!
I ran out of my beloved everything bagels earlier this week and decided to bust open the huge box of Kashi blueberry waffles I bought at Costco a few weeks ago. During my last toaster waffle phase, many of you told me that Kashi makes an excellent waffle (but they’re hard to find!), and so when I saw spied them in the freezer aisle, into the cart they went. Yes, I’m willing to buy in bulk if you guys say it’s good.
First Kashi waffle experience…
Topped one with whipped cream cheese and the other with peanut butter <–YUM.
Today, I went a different route and made my first ever wafflewich…which I’ve been meaning to try for years. ’Bout time HEAB!
A savory sweet combo of blueberry waffles, scrambled egg, melted provolone, and maple syrup. Scarfed it down. My first wafflewich, but definitely not my last!
I’d put the Kashi frozen waffles right up there with Eggo (the best in my opinion). Van’s texture if just too funky – they never get crisp on the outside – too cakey, but maybe that’s just because I’ve only tried their gluten free versions. So, that’s my waffle rant for the day. Bye now.

Wafflewich sounds right up my alley. Egg and cheese sandwiches are by far the most satisfying and filling breakfast for me, and adding sweet waffles just sent that breakfast to the top of my list! Perhaps a stop at the store is in my near future…
Kim,
I hope so. It was a delicious combo!
Sounds yummy! I think I ate a PB&J wafflewich for breakfast just about every day when I was in junior high (before I knew I can’t eat gluten). And I agree, the gf waffles just can’t compare!!
Wow, I need to get on board too. Looks delicious!
We bought the very same waffles at Costco last weekend!!!
Stephanie,
Great minds think alike.
I love waffle-wiches! My favorite is peanut butter and banana smooshed in between ‘em
I agree about Van’s Waffles, their “light” ones are a little better than the GF but still not very crispy. I’m so glad to know that the Kashi waffles are at Costco, I’m going to have to get on that!
Love that sweet and salty combination! Waffle (or pancake) sandwiches are the best.
I haven’t bought waffles in years. I’m a waffle freak and I like them super toasted. I love my savory waffles (made with chickpea flour and oats) and I’m also loving my peanut flour waffles for a treat with hemp fudge smeared in the grooves. Now I need a waffle!
What is hemp fudge? I’m intrigued!!
Lindsay,
Here is Sarena’s recipe for Hemp Fudge: http://www.thenondairyqueen.com/2010/06/weird-foods-and-hemp-protein-powder.html. I’ve made it before, and although I’m not a fan of hemp protein powder, I really enjoyed this recipe.
Sarena,
…and I need tome peanut flour waffles with fudge.
I used to eat pancake sandwiches all the time. Best use of leftover pancakes in my opinion – with a little slice of turkey and some avocado? YUM. Add some bacon and we’re talking about heaven.
Katie,
Yeah, that does sound pretty heavenly.
I like van’s and Nature’s Path. I’m always open to new ones in the freezer, but there’s no kashi around me. So many topping options and great with breakfast or to add into any meal or snack. But , yeah, Eggo is the best and my “go-to”.
the breakfast-wich is a thing of beauty. never tried those frozen waffles, the only ones i’ve ever had were growing up with EGGO! ha ha, i never blogged about this but i used the coconut flour pancake recipe and sandwiched in eggs, lingonberry jam (yes from ikea lol) & gruyere cheese. i was mystified but it was hideous!
Melissa,
That combo does not sound hideous to me. Not at all!
I used to love freezer waffles when I was a kid – blueberry all the way. Just this last weekend, I was at Natural Products Expo West at which Ezekiel brand had us sample their new sprouted grain blueberry waffles. AMAZING! Super crunchy, juicy blueberries – everything I remember from Eggo ones. I can’t wait until they come to stores this June/July!
Raychel,
Good to know – I’ll be on the lookout!
I haven’t a waffle, frozen or otherwise, in years! I did *just* get a waffle iron last week and need to bust it out. Or just buy some frozen ones
Your first wafflewich looks stellar! Love the diversity of flavors and textures going on.
I agree–Eggo and Kashi Blueberry > Van’s.
out of bagels?! i can’t imagine anything worse
your breakfast sammie looks delish!
Whhhaaattt??? this is your first time trying those things??? Dang girl! I’ve been eating those for yearrsss with PB and banana or as an eggwich (which sounds so good right now, it’s been a while) they have been my go-to on-the-go breakfast forever! So glad you’ve finally jumped on the bandwagon!!
I actually enjoy the Vans GF ones. They do have kind of a funky texture but I actually like that. I think I may have tried those Vans ones through you..ha
Now go get yourself some bagels!!
Nicole,
I know – been so outta of the waffle loop. Oh, and bought some Thai Kitchen coconut milk to try the whipped cream again. Wish me luck.
I love wafflewiches. When I make gf waffles, I usually do a double batch and freeze some and then I make sandwiches. I like blueberry with uncured ham, egg, and sharp cheddar…so good. Sorry you were out of bagels but, IMO waffles are superior.
Gina,
I bet the addition of ham is amazing. Must remember that for next time!
Sweet and savory is the way to go!!
I’ve tried Van’s regular waffles and they have the same texture problem. You’re right, never crispy. It’s not just the gluten-free!
you could buy bagels in bulk, too ;D
Jasper,
Yep, they’re on the Costco list for this weekend.
Aaaaah wafflewich sounds so good!! I don’t know if I can get frozen waffles in Aus. Probably can, but I reckon they’d be pretty terrible. A girl can dream though…
Hannah,
The list of things for you try when you come visit just keeps growing and growing!
Ive never tried the waffle egg sandwich. I’m so intrigued. Glad you’re enjoying
I love the idea of sweet blueberry waffles with savory fillings. I’m definitely adding bacon though
Shelby,
Good call.
I haven’t made a waffle sandwich since…high school, maybe?! You’ve definitely inspired me to make a grown up version with better ingredients!
Baking Serendipity,
Enjoy the wafflewich love once again. It’s time.
i enjoy the kashi ones, but love the eggo whole wheat ones.. they toast up just right…. I like them crispy
RJC,
Yes! Crispy is key, and one does it better than Eggo.
yum!
i am a fellow bagel enthusiast. i should sent you some nyc bagels! they’re crazy
Caitlin,
I wish. I had one once. Most amazing bagel ever.
oh my goodness! i just bought frozen waffles this week. they’re always the thing i impulsively buy and immediately forget in the back of my freezer. i don’t understand why. WAFFLES, on a weekday, is a good way to start the day.
this routine ends now.
your cream cheese + pb waffles look stupendous.
Kristen,
Hope you’re enjoying the waffle love.
mmmm to that wafflewhich. Throw a little avocado on there (if you’re into them these days!) and that would be perfection. I miss cinnamon apple mini eggo waffles from my childhood (frozen straight from the freezer!).
Katie,
Totally into avocados. Good call!
I made your lactation cookie. They are soo soo good. I keep telling myself well Its ok to have another…good for the milk supply haha.
Katie,
It’s totally okay. Making milk uses a lot of energy. So, eat up, and I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for letting me know.
Gotta agree with you, I love Ego waffles…my favorite waffle ‘wich , 1 egg plus 1 egg white over easy on with a smear of avocado and chipotle gouda cheese melted on top!!! This is my go to combo! It’s also yummy on raisin bread and whole grain english muffins!
Chris,
OK, that sounds amazing. Heck, the chipotle gouda cheese sounds amazing all on its own.
I use to eat Kashi waffles like there was no tomorrow. Until i got deathly sick and found out part of it was gluten allergy. But you know what, I still crave the darn thing! Van’s is just too dry. Oh me oh my, enjoy it for me HEAB!
xoxo
Lindsay,
Will do, and hopefully someone will create an amazing GF toaster waffle soon, and if not, Sarena has some great GF homemade waffle recipes!
I’ve never tried a frozen waffle… I can’t remember the last time I made waffles. BUT I do have a waffle iron that makes penguin shaped waffles, with a a little hollow in it’s tummy for a scoop of ice cream
Lou,
That is freaking brilliant. I want one…or maybe I just really want some ice-cream right now.
Bagels? Bagels? We don’t need no stinkin’ bagels! lol
Okay, I am not sure if you would get my lame joke.
Actually I LOVE bagels. Your food always looks great! I need to start my blogs!!! I haven’t started yet! lol
Chris =)
Just the combi i love too!, I usually have the Ego waffleswich with microwaved-scrambled eggs! Best combi!
Mmmm….I LOVE a wafflewich! That is the main reason I always double or triple waffles when I make them. I like to freeze them to use for wafflewiches!
When you do get around to replacing your bagels, you should get an asiago cheese one (or more
) from Panera for your sandwich. Even just scrambled eggs and melted cheese is delicious but somtimes I’ll add a little spinach and/or tomato-if vegetables even sound edible to you now!
Jill,
Oh my, I had the Panera asiago bagel a few months ago when my mom and I were at the GH Mall. It was around Christmas and so crowded, and I started feeling really sick. Had to eat and had to eat a bagel. It was exactly what I needed! I should go buy a whole bag b/c your combos sound great! Have you gone on your trip yet? Been thinking about ya, and if so, hope you had a blast!
Love waffle/pancake sandwiches! I usually do a coconut flour pancake sandwich with almond butter and thin apple or nectarine slices…OR an egg and some delicious bacon. I call them “NicGriddle” sandwiches…You should call yours HEABgriddles…
AlliNic,
Ha – HEABgriddles. I love it! Also loving the sound of your coconut flour pancake almond butter apple sandwich. That sounds amazing.
I have Kashi waffles in my freezer right now, and have been making a “wafflewich” using greek yogurt, fruit and peanut flour butter in the middle. I’ve got to try them with egg!
The waffles are good, but they’re a bit too flimsy (would that be the right word?) I don’t know- I’d like something more HEARTY with more of a bite to it I guess. They’ve been really handy in a pinch, though.
Lauren,
Yeah, they were a bit floppy to use as “sandwich bread” but still delicious.
I’ve never tried Kashi waffles before. Or Kashi anything for that matter…apparently I’ve been living under a rock?
Looks delicious. Waffles are fantastic!
Ameena,
No, you live in LA…the land of no-carb breakfasts.
Waffles can really substitute for anything in cooking. For example, I didn’t bring any fruit to bring in my at-work yogurt breakfast one time, so I just cut up a waffle to put in it. Many people would have served the yogurt ON the waffle and had a different kind of meal, but that kind of power shift seemed too extreme for breakfast.
Stephanie,
I’ve done the same thing with ice-cream. Topped it with bits of toasted waffle. So good – waffle cone topping DIY.
Yum!!!!!
I buy my husband Julian’s Recipe frozen Belgian waffles. They’re SO good, but no nutritional value whatsoever, lol!
Alyssa,
Surely there is an egg in there or something. Protein & fat.
I like Kashi waffles, my favorite is the original/7grain ones, they are good! I don’t have a toaster, or toaster oven, so I toast mine on the regular oven and they turn out delicious! I like spreading butter and lightly sprinkling salt on them as soon they come out of the oven, so good!
And of course, they are awesome with AB too.
Take care dear friend, hope all is well with you and the babies!
Ana
Ana,
Yeah, I baked mine on the oven setting in our toaster oven. They come out much better that way. I really want to try the strawberry flax Kashi waffles. Must find some soon!
Yum! That looks awesome! I love waffles! Your food combinations are awesome! I wouldve never thought to put provolone egg & syrup on a waffle! Love it
What brand bagels do you like? Everything bagels are my favorite!!
Leah,
It was pretty tasty – like a waffle McGriddle.
I’ve just been buying the Thomas everything bagels, but the one pictured in this post was a generic plain. So tasty though.
Hi Heather! You’ve discovered the joy of wafflewiches! I know exactly what you mean about Van’s gluten-free waffles, but their regular ones are super tasty. My favorites are blueberry, multi-grain, Belgian and powergrains. I love the short ingredient list
)
Ammera,
OK, you’ve swayed me. I’ll give Van’s another go – but will definitely buy the regular ones.
Oh that wafflewich- that soudns amazing! I’m going to have to copy you!
Hope you’re feeling well! I think about you every day!
Thanks Kristen. Think about you often too, and yes, try the Wafflewich – I think it would be great with some 3-ingredient fudge sandwiched in the middle.
