So before I take the plunge and (hopefully!) complete Tough Mudder on Sunday, I thought I’d create a little reward for myself as a result of the hard work and commitment I’ve put in over the past 3 months!
The recipe is indulgent and delicious, as I’m sure you’ll agree once you’ve tasted it. The fruit compote is really easy to produce and I used a range of berries as they dissolve well in the simmering water. It’s a healthy breakfast recipe with plenty of fruit included!
I decided to buy my own waffles which were already cooked and only needed heating up, however you can make your own using a waffle maker. There are some really great ones out there!
As always let me know your thoughts on the recipe and feel free to share your waffle creations with me!
