Description

These Best Whole Wheat Waffles are a wholesome and delicious breakfast option made with whole wheat flour and lightly spiced with cinnamon. They are fluffy yet hearty, perfect for a nutritious start to the day. Using unsweetened non-dairy milk and a touch of oil, the recipe is easy to prepare and yields waffles with a perfect crispy exterior and soft interior.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (cashew, almond, soy, hemp, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons oil (light olive oil or avocado oil)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a small bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and fine sea salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the large egg, unsweetened non-dairy milk, and oil. Gently add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid over-mixing, which can make waffles dense instead of fluffy.
  3. Rest batter: Let the batter rest while your waffle iron preheats. This helps the ingredients to meld and improves the texture of the waffles.
  4. Cook: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Cook for 3-4 minutes or according to your waffle iron manufacturer’s instructions, until waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  5. Serve: Remove waffles from the iron and keep them warm until serving. Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or nut butters for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Do not over-mix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  • Resting the batter during waffle iron preheating improves texture.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron model.
  • Use oil with a high smoke point like light olive oil or avocado oil for best results.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute whole wheat flour with gluten-free flour blend, keeping in mind texture differences.
