Waffles with syrup are a classic breakfast option, but I think it’s time we move on from settling for just any old topping. Isn’t there more out there for a waffle than a life of endless sugary tree sap?
I set out on a mission to find out in Wake Forest’s very own dining hall, and thus the peanut butter and banana waffle panini was born. A much-needed spin on a childhood favorite, the marriage between waffles and paninis is nothing less than a college miracle.

5. Fold in half and panini press your waffle sandwich to get the peanut butter deliciously melted and to make your sandwich a little less “bready.”
