Crispy whole grain waffles topped with fresh, seasonal fruit and a dollop of whipped cream for a light yet indulgent breakfast treat.
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, bananas, etc.)
Whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
Directions
Preheat the waffle maker: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine the mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Cook the waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron and pour batter into the center of the iron. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
Serve: Top each waffle with a generous helping of fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped cream. Optionally, drizzle with maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness.
