Whole Wheat WafflesHomemade Whole Wheat Waffles

My husband loves to make waffles or pancakes on Saturday mornings. cooking and also It’s his thing and I don’t mess with it. I don’t mess with it because I think it is great that he is because Saturday is my sleep in day and lets face it, I usually sleep right through breakfast.

When I finally wake, I eat up what’s left, and I have to say, he has really perfected his recipe.

He tried MANY. He wanted to find one that used only whole wheat flour and still tasted great. He ended up combining two recipes he found on line and the waffles turned out awesome. He has been making them this way ever since. They are perfect! Light and fluffy and Delicious!

Oh and they also freeze really well! Perfect for making ahead and pulling out later for breakfast.

  2. I have been looking for a whole wheat & low sugar waffle recipe. I tried many that just weren’t
    right for various reasons. I’ve made these four times now & my girls love them. They freeze great too! Thanks for this healthy waffle recipe.

  3. Just made these because my son had a crazy (wonderful) idea of waffles for lunch – they were a hit! I could not cook them fast enough! Only problem was, his sister, who was my assistant 😉 thought tsp was a tbsp on the SALT! (newbie cook) LOL so I had to quadruple all the other dry ingredients so we did NOT end up with salty waffles 😉 I made two batches into waffles and now I have two dry mixes for future use… I have a feeling they will be used rather soon and not so much “future”! 🙂

    reply to this comment

    • oh boy, I love a good, kid cooking, story! What a smart mom to quadruple the batch and save some as dry mixes! 🙂 I am so glad your family liked them. And yes, at our house they can never be cooked fast enough either. 🙂

  4. These are so delicious!! My friend and I have been using the waffle maker I got for Christmas, and these are by far the best ever. I added nutmeg, cinnamon, and syrup from a jar of spiced apples. I actually wrote this recipe down in one of my books because of how well they turned out.

  6. Thank you so much for this recipe it was awesome. We have been looking for more whole food breakfast recipes and this was a hit with my husband and all three of the kids. They heated up wondefeully in the toaster over the next few days.

    reply to this comment

    • Yes Wendy, but it will change the consistency a little bit and they may stick a little more to the waffle iron. I usually only sub 1/2 the oil for applesauce when I do it that way and it works much better.

  9. I made these and my family LOVED them, but I felt a little guilty eating so much fat for breakfast with all the olive oil. (Good fat, I know, but still will make my jeans tight.) I subbed greek yogurt for half of the oil, and also used almond milk instead of regular. I didn’t stop there and did only egg whites and also used palm sugar instead of regular. Still EXCELLENT…my kids didn’t notice a difference, and now I get some to! Thanks for the recipe!!!

  10. Cant wait to try this recipe. This is probably a silly question but when you freeze the waffles how would you reheat them? Microwave? And I don’t suppose you have the nutritional information to go with this recipe do you?

    reply to this comment

    • Hi Carra,

      Not a silly question at all. I do reheat them in the microwave or sometimes in the toaster oven. The toaster oven gives it a nice little crunch on the edges. If you click on the little magic button under the recipe, it will take you to the nutritional info.

  12. My kids did not even notice these were made with whole wheat flour. I liked them and thought they were pretty good for being all whole wheat. I made a double batch so I could freeze some for weekday breakfasts. I think next time I will add some of the pumpkin I canned last fall. Overall a really good recipe.

  13. We are making “breakfast for dinner” tonight. I’d like to try this recipe but with buttermilk that needs to be used up. If I wanted to use buttermilk, can I just substitute it for the milk, or should I make other adjustments to the recipe?

  14. These were fantastic . I have been looking for a good waffle recipe using whole wheat flour and these were just perfect . Will be making these for my grandkids all summer at the lake . Thanks so much for sharing your recipe .

  16. I loved the waffles but I always add more sugar or honey and a mashed banana even if I use a mix ( store box) and they always are great, . You do have to use the right whole wheat flour some brands are more denser of grainy. King Arthur is good I think I’m not sure as I through away my wrapper and stored it in a plastic container.

    reply to this comment

  17. Thank you so much for this recipe! I made them for my 10 month old and he devoured them! I subbed 1/2c oil for 1/4 applesauce + 1/4 olive oil. We didn’t even use syrup or butter on them… I even got my picky husband to eat them! Thanks again!!

  18. My son loved the recipe so much. He could not tell that I used whole wheat flour. I substituted oil for extravirgin olive oil and vanilla for ground cinnamon. I skipped sugar altogether and added whole chia seeds and it was very fluffy, crispy and yummy. It has become our Saturday brunch every weekend. Thank you.

    • Hi Trish,

      My husband actually came up with this recipe after experimenting with different recipes on the web. He is the waffle/pancake man at our house. I would love to see teh recipe you are talking about. can you send me the link for the recipe on King Arthur so I can look at it. I just looked through their site at couldn’t find one that is like this. Giving credit when I know the source is important to me.

      Thank you,
      Maria

  22. I’ve been craving waffles for a while now. When I get them in a restaurant they are ok, not great, not bad, just ok. I borrowed my MILs waffle iron yesterday and found this recipe last night. I don’t have to tell you how delicious they turned out, because you obviously know, but WOW.
    I have never been so happy with a waffle as I was today. Thank you so much for this recipe. You made my day and satisfied my craving!

    reply to this comment

  23. Oh and I made a couple of modifications, if you can call them that, to your recipe.
    I added 1/2 tsp (approximately because I did not measure it) cinnamon, omitted they sugar and salt and used soy milk instead of cow’s milk. I also used avocado oil. However the bones were your recipe and amazing it was!

  25. I reluctantly only had whole wheat flour left in the house but was craving waffles. This recipe came up on google and after reading the reviews I made them and still have half a waffle on my plate but had to comment and just pinned and shared the recipe on Facebook. I WILL be making this recipe again and again! They are light and fluffy and so perfect paired with the peach lavender jam I made in the summer! THANK YOU for sharing this recipe and for breaking my whole wheat skepticism!

    • Sounds like we would be good friends I am always experimenting with whole wheat flour in recipes. Have you tried my diner style pancakes? They taste delicious with whole wheat flour and I have so many more. There is a Brownie recipe that is Awesome. It’s called Crazy Good Whole Wheat Brownies on the site.
