Whole Wheat, Flax, & Blueberry Waffles

I found this recipe for Whole Wheat Waffles on the King Arthur Flour website a few weeks ago, and I have been wanting to make them ever since then! This morning I finally heated up the old waffle iron and whipped these babys up in no time! I added 2 T of whole flax seed and fresh blueberries for extra fiber, and they came out absolutely delicious!



Whole Wheat, Flax, & Blueberry Waffles (adapted from King Arthur Flour recipe for Whole Wheat Waffles) 
Serves 2-3, prep time: 15 minutes, cook time: 5 minutes, total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients 


  • 1 1/2 cups King Arthur 100% White Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 T whole flax seed 
  • 2 t cinnamon 
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
  • fresh blueberries, strawberries, chocolate chips (optional, add after you pour batter into waffle iron)
  • Cooking spray (don't forget to spray your waffle iron before pouring in the batter)
  • Real maple syrup, or maple flavored agave nectar  

  • Preheat your iron while you make the waffle batter.
    2) Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, flax seeds, and cinnamon
    3) In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and butter or oil.
    4) Mix together the wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. The batter will be a bit lumpy; that's OK.
    5) Cook the waffles as directed in the instructions that came with your waffle iron.
    Enjoy!
