Yesterday was pretty cold. Or at least it felt cold to me. When it is 45 degrees after it has been above 70 degrees for the past 4-5 months, it is a little bit of a shock to the system. It also rained the majority of the day. So the cold mixed with the rain made for a couple of chilly cyclocross races. But anyway, I was craving a warm waffle sandwich when I got home. A “Nutella’ banana protein waffle sandwich to be exact.

It was really a pretty easy recipe. I made a simple protein waffle and then added peanut butter and Justin’s chocolate hazelnut butter to the middle. You could really use any kind of nutella or chocolate hazelnut butter. Justin’s is a little bit lower sugar and made with all natural and organic ingredients.

After cooking the waffle and layering it with the chocolate hazelnut butter and banana, I cooked it in a pan. You don’t have to grill it in a pan when you are done, but I would highly recommend it. It makes the chocolate hazelnut butter warm and melty and the banana soft and creamy. Ahh I need another one of these right now!
