About Waffle with syrup

A waffle with syrup is a popular breakfast dish in many Western cuisines. Originating from Belgium, waffles are made by cooking a batter of flour, eggs, milk, and butter in a specialized waffle iron to create their characteristic grid-like texture. Topped with syrup, often maple syrup, the dish combines carbohydrates, fats, and sugars, providing a quick energy boost. One serving typically contains moderate amounts of protein, fats, and carbohydrates but is high in added sugars. A waffle with syrup offers around 290-400 calories depending on portion size and ingredients. While generally low in fiber, waffles may contain some iron and other micronutrients depending on their preparation. The syrup contributes to an elevated glycemic index due to high sugar content and lacks significant nutritional value aside from simple carbohydrates.
