New Product Review:

Eggo FiberPlus Waffles

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 1/14/2011

I tried two varieties of the new FiberPlus Waffles: Eggo FiberPlus Calcium Buttermilk Waffles and Eggo FiberPlus Antioxidants Chocolate Chip Waffles.

The one to try is the Chocolate Chip variety.

While good, the Buttermilk waffle tastes similar to a multitude of other frozen waffles on the market. The 9 grams of dietary fiber per two waffle serving should be a selling point for some (similar products often contain less than 1 gram), but you shouldn't expect anything new or interesting as far as flavor.

On the other hand, the Chocolate Chip waffles offer the same 9 grams of fiber, but with delightful specks of chocolate in every bite. This variety has 5 more grams of sugar than it's Buttermilk brother, but the chocolate adds both flavor and sweetness. If you're inclined to have maple syrup on your waffles, you'll probably - or at least you should - use a little less syrup so the chocolate flavor can shine through.

I topped my Chocolate Chip waffles with a little butter substitute and a very light drizzle of pure maple syrup. Very tasty.

For the best results, follow the package instructions and toast the waffles on your toaster's lowest setting - twice. Both kinds of waffles toasted up crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.

Fun flavor and fiber... give this one a try.





The rating for this product is based solely on the Chocolate Chip variety. The Buttermilk version would have scored average on all counts.
