Whole Grain Waffles are a nutritious and delicious way to start your day, offering a hearty and satisfying breakfast with a wholesome twist. Made with a blend of whole wheat flour and other whole grains like oats, these waffles are light, crispy, and packed with fiber and nutrients. They have a slightly nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or even a dollop of yogurt. Perfect for a weekend brunch or a weekday treat, these waffles are a healthier alternative that doesn’t compromise on taste or texture.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 3/4 cups milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or melted butter)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oats, ground flaxseed, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense waffles.
- Lightly grease your waffle iron with cooking spray or oil. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to your iron’s instructions, typically 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve immediately, topped with your favorite waffle toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or maple syrup. Enjoy!
