How to Make Homemade Whole Wheat Waffles

Did you know it can be easier, cheaper and much healthier to make your own waffles at home than to buy them frozen from the store? Follow these easy steps to make your own homemade whole wheat waffles.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• waffle iron
• 2 mixing bowls
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 T baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup cooking oil

1. Preheat your waffle maker while you prepare the batter.

2. 
    
   Mix wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls

   Mix dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, beat eggs slightly then add remaining wet ingredients. Once wet ingredients are combined, pour them into the dry ingredients, mixing until just moistened. Batter will be lumpy and will thicken as it stands.

3. 
    
   Add batter to your waffle maker

   Following the directions for your specific waffle iron, add batter and bake until your waffle maker indicates the waffle is done. Remove waffle from appliance using a fork, and repeat with remaining batter.Note--using a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl clean will often yield an additional waffle!
   Serve waffles with syrup and butter, or with whipped cream and fruit.

Tips & Warnings

• Double the recipe for extra waffles to freeze and reheat in your toaster or broiler.
• Add blueberries before baking for delicious blueberry waffles!
