Dark Chocolate Waffles with Coconut-Maple Butter
Mother’s day is a time of appreciation and what better way to show her than creating some indulgent and healthy chocolate waffles, amongst all the other loving gestures….In less than half an hour you’ll have made her feel extra special!
A little bit of trivia – Mother’s day was originally celebrated in 1907 by Anna Jarvis as she held a memorial in honour of her mother and thereafter she embarked on a campaign to make “Mother’s Day” a recognised holiday.
