These waffles are just perfect for your loved one this valentines, they are moist and filled with flavour. Jam is a perfect accompaniment for waffles, however jam in normally filled with both refined sugar and starch to add sweetness and texture. Making your own jam is an easy way to avoid these ingredients. Use coconut sugar to sweeten the jam and to add a creamy texture use chia seeds.
