Waffles

Waffles recipe image
These whole wheat waffles offer a delicious, heart-healthy twist on a breakfast classic. By using egg whites instead of whole eggs and combining whole wheat flour with unbleached flour, you get a tender yet sturdy waffle that holds up beautifully to toppings. The addition of nonfat buttermilk adds a subtle tang and helps create a light, airy texture, while a touch of canola oil ensures the outside gets perfectly golden and crisp. They are ideal for a nutritious weekend brunch or a quick weekday morning. Serve them warm with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a satisfying start to your day.
