I like maple syrup well enough. And powdered sugar has always seemed more like decoration than flavor to me in terms of its use on breakfast carbohydrate overload. My favorite waffle topping is briggs amino soy sauce type liquid mixed with a small bit of honey.

I am not a huge sweet breakfast item person to begin with. If I have to eat breakfast, I am more of a savory or last night dinner eater than sweet bread-ish items type of breakfast eater. The appeal of french toast and pancakes are a mystery to me regardless of what they have on top of them.
