Steps

- Once toasted, top the waffles with grass-fed butter or ghee and strawberry jam. For variety, you can also drizzle them with pure maple syrup.
- Evaluate each brand based on taste, texture, and how well they toasted. Use a rating scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being poor and 5 being excellent.
- Assess the quality of ingredients in each waffle brand, noting factors like whether they are organic, vegan, or non-GMO.
- Consider additional factors such as the number of ingredients, price, and any unique attributes or benefits of the waffles.
