What makes this waffle recipe healthier?

Firstly, this recipe is made with white whole wheat flour. White whole wheat flour is a nutrient rich whole wheat flour. It is loaded with fiber, vitamins, proteins, and minerals. This flour is mild in flavor so it is perfect for baking!

Secondly, this waffle uses just a tablespoon of pure maple syrup! Pure maple syrup is an all natural, plant based sweetener. I love adding it to baked goods to sweeten things up.

How to serve this waffle

Blueberries! My favorite way to enjoy these waffles is with fresh or frozen blueberries.

Mini chocolate chips. Are you a chocolate lover? If so, definitely add chocolate chips to these waffles! Add chocolate chips in the batter before cooking or sprinkle them on top once they are cooked.

Peanut Butter. I LOVE peanut butter. Add a spread of natural creamy peanut butter on top.

Banana. Slice up a banana, sprinkle it with some cinnamon and bam! Another delicious way to enjoy these waffles.

Bacon. Any bacon lovers out there? Me! Serve up this waffles with a side of crispy bacon.

How can I freeze these whole grain waffles?

Once the waffles have fully cooled. Cut them in half (or leave them whole) and put them in a freezer friendly, airtight container. If you are storing them in the same container, make sure you put a piece of parchment paper in between so they don’t stick.

To reheat these waffles, simply let them thaw at room temperature or defrost them in the microwave.

After defrosting them, add them to your toaster or toaster oven for a few minutes to crisp up the outside. Enjoy!
