Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat stone-ground flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup cooking oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  • Preheat your waffle iron while you make the whole wheat batter.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • To that bowl, whisk in the eggs, milk, oil, vanilla, and honey until mostly smooth. A few lumps are just fine.
  • Cook the waffles as directed in the instructions that came with your waffle iron.
  • Top with fresh berries, warmed pure maple syrup or anything else you love on waffles.

Notes

  1. Flour Options: Stone-ground whole wheat flour gives these waffles a nutty flavor and hearty texture. White whole wheat flour can also be used for a lighter taste.
  2. Sweetness: Honey naturally sweetens the batter. Use 1 tablespoon for mild sweetness or 2 tablespoons if you prefer a slightly sweeter waffle.
  3. Optional Flavor: Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the batter for a warm, spiced version.
  4. Make-Ahead: Waffles freeze well. Cool completely, then freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer bag. Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster or warm oven.
  5. Serving Ideas: Top with fresh berries, warmed maple syrup, yogurt, or nut butter. For a savory twist, serve with fried chicken or scrambled eggs.
