Description

These Whole Wheat Waffles combine irresistible flavor and simple preparation for a delightful breakfast. Made with whole wheat pastry flour, buttermilk, and a hint of cinnamon, they offer a healthy twist on a classic favorite. Perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ⅔ cups (320g) whole wheat pastry flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups low-fat buttermilk (dairy or nut milk)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • non-stick cooking spray
  • toppings of choice: maple syrup, fresh fruit, nut butter, Greek yogurt, whipped cream, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, etc.


Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter, whisking until just combined—there should be no flour streaks, but avoid overmixing.
  4. Spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
  5. Pour in ½ cup of batter for each waffle, filling the grids without overflow. Cook as per your waffle iron's instructions until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Keep finished waffles warm in a 200°F oven, arranged in a single layer on the rack. Continue with the remaining batter.
  7. Serve the waffles hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute the buttermilk with nut milk and add a tablespoon of vinegar.
For a crispier texture, let the batter sit for a few minutes before using it.
