Nothing can beat fresh homemade peanut butter. The creamy ooey gooey peanut butter tops the entire food chart for me.
Whenever I make peanut butter at home I can hardly save it for a week. It vanishes with a blink of an eye. We all love it and are super crazy peanut butter lovers. 🙂

Ingredients notes:
Bulgur – its a kind of cracked wheat popular in Middle Easter diet. it high in fiber and other vitamins and minerals. I used red bulgur in this recipe but you may use regular bulgur grain as well.
Peanut butter – I used unflavored and unsalted peanut butter here which I made it at home. If you plan to sue a store bought one then make sure it does not have any added sugar in any form in it.
Banana – this acts like an egg substitutes and naturally sweetens these waffles as well. This also adds potassium and fiber to these vegan waffles.
Coconut milk – I used coconut milk which in tetra pack or carton just like regular milk. Do not use canned ones or else coconut milk will overpower the taste. However, you may use any other dairy free of your choice.
How to make Peanut Butter Bulgur Waffles
Firstly, I cooked bulgur following the package instructuions and let it cool completely.
Secondly, I made a batter out of all the ingredients in a bowl.
Next, I warmed up the waffle maker at low heat setting.
Thereafter, i poured about 2 tbsp of the batter at its center and gently put the lid on it.
Once done, I let it firm up for 2 minutes and then gently, took it out with a flat spatula.
I repeated the above steps with he rest of the batter and then served immediately with fruits, berries and maple syrup.
These were instant hit with my family and they thoroughly loved. I had not leftovers.
The Peanut Butter Bulgur Waffles batter was so delicious that I and my little one kept on licking until we realized that the bowl was almost empty. Therefore, I whipped up 2 batches of the batter so we could enjoy this in all forms.
These tastes best when served immediately. If kept for long the waffles softens and looses its texture.
Bulgur is a traditional grain of Eastern Mediterranean and is versatile enough to be eaten in salads, porridge or pilaf. This wholesome grain helps in weight loss, improves digestive system, prevents iron deficiency and provides many vitamins and mineral.
These are healthy because I made it sugar free and minimum oil. These have healthy grains, sweetened with fruit and has protein too. Overall, these can be enjoyed frequently.
