As if {whole wheat} bacon-blueberry waffles weren’t enough, today I offer you something more.

{Whole Wheat} Bacon-Blueberry Waffles

How about a waffle iron so that the 64% of you who don’t own one can actually make these beauties?

Pretty maj, if I do say so myself.

Up until the super-awesome folks at BigKitchen offered me one of these bad boys for a review and giveaway, I had never made waffles before. Impossible without a waffle maker (well, unless you’re Alejandra and get crazy-creative with your grill pan) and Daniel was not about to allow me such a luxury into our already cramped kitchen. No, I’m afraid there’s no more room between the ornaments and the cake dome under our guest bathroom sink.

Raw. Organic. Vegan. Gluten-free. Kosher.

Daaaammmmnnn.

These bars have it going on, right?

And more than that, they taste ah-mazing.

I first tried a Pure Bar when I received one in my swag bag at BlogHer Food in Seattle. I was immediately intrigued by the clean list of ingredients and stellar nutrition info. The flavor was Banana Coconut, which of course sounded delish enough – but with all of the healthiness going on in there, could it actually taste good?

Yes. pure organic bars - review + giveaway

This was thrilling news for me, because on extra-busy days (is there such thing as a day that’s not extra-busy? I didn’t think so) bars like this are a life-saver. I’m generally super-picky about ‘em, because I don’t want a lot of preservatives but I also want a good mix of protein, fiber, fat, and calories. Tasting good is an obvious bonus, so Pure Bars are a triple-win!

When I reached out to the company to get my hands on more, they happily obliged – and what’s even better is that they’re sharing the love with you, too!
