The Best Whole Wheat Waffles

Ingredients = Everyday Staples

This waffle recipe is easy to make and you likely have everything on hand…

• whole wheat flour – provides whole grains and fiber. But a 1:1 gluten free baking flour works too. I didn’t test this with all-purpose but if that’s all you have on hand, just add 3 TBSP flour and it should work.
• baking powder & baking soda – for optimal fluff
• cinnamon & salt – to help balance flavor
• egg – for texture
• non-dairy milk of choice – cashew, almond, soy, hemp, etc. but any milk should work. If using a protein-based milk (i.e. like pea milk) that is thicker, you may need a couple more tablespoons or so.
• oil – helps keep these waffles nice and soft.

Add Your Favorite Toppings

And don’t forget about the toppings! I like blueberries, bananas, peanut butter and even a sprinkle of hemp hearts.

Easy to Make Recipe

And this homemade waffle recipe couldn’t be easier.

Essentially you’re just mixing together the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon and salt – with the wet ingredients, adding to waffle iron and cooking until done.

Wet Ingredients

TIP: Be sure to mix just until combined. When you over-stir whole wheat flour, the batter becomes dense and your pancakes won’t end up as light and fluffy.

Add to Pre-Heated Waffle Iron

Be patient as the waffles cook. Most waffle makers have a light indicator to show when they’re done.

TIP: Store waffles in 200ºF oven to keep warm until serving.

Make Ahead

These waffles are great for prepping ahead of time, too!

Because who wouldn’t want delicious homemade waffles during the weekday?

To Reheat

My favorite method for reheating waffles is in the toaster, about medium heat, because you get crisp edges.

Depending on your toaster, you may need to cycle through a couple times.

Alternatively you can use microwave, or warm up in a skillet over low-medium heat with lid.
