Brown Butter Waffles with Yogurt and Fruit

So now that we have our own yogurt that we’ve created at home, the natural extension of this is to put it on a waffle.

(Because, obviously.)Also I just purchased a new waffle maker and I’m so in-freaking-love with it that I may have taken it to my place of work and had a waffle party for my coworkers.  (Yes we’re at that stage in our relationship now that they can begin to see just how deranged I actually am.  It’s a good thing I work with therapists who can therapize me.) So yes, I made brown butter waffles with yogurt and fruit and topped it all with a handful of granola and a drizzle of sticky honey. If heaven were a food-group, I’m pretty sure it would be brown butter waffles.  Just saying.

If you’re not into the yogurt and fruit on a waffle thing, first of all- why not?!  You should most definitely try it again.  And if, after trying it, you still maintain that yogurt is the worst, I will eagerly accept partially eaten waffles for my own personal consumption. Seriously though, if yogurt is not your thing, this waffle recipe can be adapted in oh-so-many ways.Having trouble in the ideas department?  I think topping this with brie and raspberry jam, any type of fruit sauce/syrup, or drizzling the entire thing with salted caramel sauce would be out of this world. Eating it just plain, or maybe with a light dusting of powdered sugar would also be delightful.
