5 Easy Ways to Go Beyond the Traditional Rastall Waffle

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at CC chapter.

Rastall’s waffle line during brunch is usually a good five people deep, but the wait is completely worth it for a personalized waffle. There are always jars of fruit, syrup, and whipped cream next to the waffles, and as appealing as these options are, their repetitiveness can get boring week after week. It’s time to channel your inner Leslie Knope and experience Rastall waffles in an entirely new way, starting with these five simple yet delicious creations.

1. Blueberry Blast

Adding fruit on top of your waffle is an easy way to add some extra flavor, but adding toppings on the inside is a total game changer. If you put a spoonful or two of blueberries in the batter, you’ll have double the fruitiness and double the deliciousness.

2. Waffle BLT

BLT’s for lunch are a classic go-to sandwich, but when you replace the typical bread slices with a waffle, you have the perfect breakfast BLT. Rastall’s salad bar always carries fresh lettuce and tomatoes, and you can count on the hot breakfast bar to provide that just-crispy-enough bacon to top off your waffle sandwich.

3. Belgian

Rasty’s soft-serve machine is used for everything from mochas to ice-cream sandwiches, so why not use it for your waffles as well? A swirl of your go-to ice cream flavor drizzled with syrup turns your plain waffle into a sweet concoction.

4. Nutella n’ Cream

Nutella is the ideal breakfast spread, both in flavor and the company’s commitment to sustainability. Rastall’s dessert bar usually has a jar of Nutella, so spread it on your waffle and top with whipped cream and your fruit of choice.

5. Yogurt with a Twist

If you’re trying to stay healthy but are craving that freshly made waffle, this is the choice for you. Fill up a bowl with your favorite yogurt flavor and use it as a waffle dip. It’s healthier than whipped cream while still satisfying your sweet tooth.

These are just ideas to get you started – by using toppings and spreads from all areas of Rastall rather than simply sticking to the waffle area, the possibilities are endless. If you take a waffle out in your to-go box, you can become even more creative by incorporating fruit or desserts that Rastall doesn’t carry. There’s no better way to start your day than with a uniquely handmade waffle.
