About Nutella waffle
Nutella waffles are a sweet treat combining the fluffy texture of waffles with Nutella, a popular hazelnut cocoa spread originating from Italy and widely used in European desserts. Waffles, often linked to Belgian cuisine, provide a base of carbohydrates mainly from wheat flour, while Nutella introduces added fats, sugars, and flavors from cocoa and hazelnut paste. One serving is typically high in calories, primarily from sugar (around 21 g per tablespoon of Nutella) and carbohydrates, with small amounts of protein and dietary fiber. While delicious, Nutella waffles are a calorically dense food with limited micronutrient variety.
Health Benefits
- Hazelnuts in Nutella provide small amounts of vitamin E, which contributes to skin health and immune support.
- Cocoa in Nutella contains flavonoids that may help improve blood circulation and cardiovascular health.
- Waffles made from enriched flour can supply essential B vitamins like thiamine and folic acid.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store waffles in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 1 month. Nutella should be kept at room temperature, away from direct heat and moisture.
