Servings: 4
Ingredients:
*1/4 cup sliced almonds
*1 can (8 oz.) refrigerated reduced-fat crescent rolls (8 rolls)
*1/2 jar of Smucker's strawberry Simply Fruit (spreadable fruit substitute for jelly)
*1 container (6 oz.) Yoplait Original 99% fat free strawberry yogurt
*1 banana, sliced
*aerosol can whipped cream
*ground cinnamon
*fresh strawberries, sliced
*cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to "warm" setting or 200 F. Heat a square or rectangular waffle maker. Spray with cooking spray.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, toast the almonds over medium heat 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Remove from skillet; set aside.
Separate crescent dough into 8 triangles (this is how they come). Place 2 triangles at a time on the waffle maker, making sure that the triangles do not touch and stay separated. Close the lid of the waffle maker. Cook 2 minutes or until golden brown. Place cooked waffles on an oven safe plate or a cookie sheet, and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining triangles. Each time, put the plate or cookie sheet back in the oven to keep them warm while you are cooking more waffles.
Meanwhile, in a 1 quart saucepan, heat the spreadable fruit and yogurt over medium heat, stirring frequently, until hot.*
To serve, stack 2 crescent waffles on top of each other, slightly overlapping. Spoon 1/4 of the fruit sauce over each serving of waffles. Top each serving equally with banana and strawberry slices. Top evenly with toasted almonds. Top with a squirt or two of whipped cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
*Note--you can also use Smucker's blueberry Spreadable Fruit paired with Yoplait Original 99% fat free mountain blueberry yogurt, or any other flavor of spreadable fruit paired with a similar flavored yogurt. We usually do the blueberry version, and this was our 1st time with the strawberry version. We use the bananas no matter what flavor we do, though.
